Hi all,
can somebody give me a hint to show following classes in VE?
I use:
Eclipse 3.2.2
Visual Editor 1.2.1
GEF 3.2.2
EMF 2.2.3

1. How can I pass a object, e.g. the owner, to the constructor of a visual
class
so that the visual editor works?
Here a simple example:

import java.awt.GridBagConstraints;
import java.awt.GridBagLayout;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JRootPane;


public class MyVisualEditorMain extends JPanel {


private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

private JButton btnMyButton = null;
private TestClass lblMyLabel = null;
private JRootPane owner = null;

public MyVisualEditorMain(JRootPane owner) {

super();

this.owner = owner;


initialize();

}




private void initialize() {

GridBagConstraints gridBagConstraints1 = new GridBagConstraints();

gridBagConstraints1.gridx = 1;

gridBagConstraints1.gridy = 0;

lblMyLabel = new TestClass(this.owner);

// lblMyLabel = new TestClass(owner);


GridBagConstraints gridBagConstraints = new GridBagConstraints();

gridBagConstraints.gridx = 0;

gridBagConstraints.gridy = 0;

this.setSize(300, 200);

this.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());

this.add(getBtnMyButton(), gridBagConstraints);

this.add(lblMyLabel, gridBagConstraints1);

}



public class TestClass extends JLabel{


public TestClass(JRootPane owner){

super("hallo");
}

}




private JButton getBtnMyButton() {

if (btnMyButton == null) {

btnMyButton = new JButton();

btnMyButton.setText("Close");

}

return btnMyButton;

}

}



My second question:
How can I view the visual components from a extended abstract class?
Here a simple example again:

public abstract class AbstractVisualEditor extends JToolBar{


private JPanel pnlRoot = null;

private JButton btnEnd = null;

private JButton btnHelp = null;

public abstract void end();

public abstract void help();


public AbstractVisualEditor() {

super();


initialize();

}




protected final void initialize() {

this.setFloatable(false);

this.add(getPnlRoot());


}




private JPanel getPnlRoot() {

if (pnlRoot == null) {

pnlRoot = new JPanel();

pnlRoot.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());

pnlRoot.add(getBtnEnd(), new GridBagConstraints());

pnlRoot.add(getBtnHelp(), new GridBagConstraints());

}

return pnlRoot;

}




private JButton getBtnEnd() {

if (btnEnd == null) {

btnEnd = new JButton();

btnEnd.setText("End");

btnEnd.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {

public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent e) {


end();

}

});

}

return btnEnd;

}




private JButton getBtnHelp() {

if (btnHelp == null) {

btnHelp = new JButton();

btnHelp.setText("Help");

btnHelp.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {

public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent e) {


help();

}

});

}

return btnHelp;

}


}



public class MyAbstractVisualEditor extends AbstractVisualEditor{


private JButton btnNew = null;


public MyAbstractVisualEditor(){

super();

initComponents();

}


public void initComponents() {

this.add(getBtnNew());


}



@Override

public void end() {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub


}


@Override

public void help() {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub


}




private JButton getBtnNew() {

if (btnNew == null) {

btnNew = new JButton();

btnNew.setText("New");

}

return btnNew;

}


} // @jve:decl-index=0:visual-constraint="10,10"



If I want to open MyAbstractVisualEditor .java with the visual editor I
can't see
the visual components of AbstractVisualEditor. Can someone give me a hint
how
to make this components visible?

Thank you very much for every help!
Marco
