I just tried to set values in a scrollbar in a JScrollPane for the first
time in VE. It attempts to set them via JScrollPane.ScrollBar (with lots
of errors generated). My docs talk about JScrollBar as a separate class.

I take it this is something new since 1.3 (which VE supports)?

This sure made a mess. I can't even get rid of the errored code through
the visual editor.

Got an estimate on 1.4 support, yet?

It's not 1.3 versus 1.4. The problem is that the default scroll bar that
JScrollPane uses is a protected non-static inner class. The VE's problem
is that it doesn't work on what we call implicit values. An implicit
value happens when you try to set a property of a property and the
original property was not set but was queried. Currently what we do is
we try to instantiate a new copy of the implicit property and then set
the inner property on it. But since the class of the property setting is
a protected non-static inner class we can't generate any good code for
it. What we generate fails.

This is something we must address in the next release of VE, implicit
properties.

Are we talking about Bug 48552 here or something different?

Thanks in advance,
