Visual Editor 1.1M1 released [message #88614]

All,

I'm pleased to announce the immediate availability of the Visual Editor
1.1 M1. This build is compatible with Eclipse 3.1M6 only, and adds some
of the following highlights:

- Supports directly editing an Eclipse View

- The Visual Editor saves its introspection data and opens on average
30% faster on subsequent loads of the same class. Cleaning the project
flushes this cache.

....and much more.

The New and Noteworthy page is available at:

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/indextools.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E /vep-home/WebContent/docs/newAndNoteworthy/1.1-M1/vep-news-f inal.html

The download page is available at:

http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ve/downloads/drops/S-1.1M1 -200504251532/index.html

Best Regards,

Dave Orme

performance and this is MUCH faster, great move in the right direction.
Thanks!

gui with swt I see lots of errors. The simplest one is when I add a
button it creates this code

button = new Button();

wheere Button() is not acceptible. Is there a problem with what I am
doing ?

thanks,

What JRE level are you using ? Is it 1.4.2 ?

We haven't tested on 1.5 yet. Could you try it with 1.4.2 if possible
and see if that helps ?

The reason I'm asking is that there was a bug in early 1.4 versions with
the way the J2SE Introspector worked where because of the presence of
the Swing BeanInfo classes these were being picked up instead of the SWT
ones. This caused the introspector to think that SWT's Button had its
metadata being provided by the Swing Button class and this was fixed in
1.4.2. I hope it hasn't regressed in 1.5 and I'll take a look, but in
the meantime if you could try 1.4.2 and let us know how you get on
that'd be great.

Best regards,

Joe Winchester

Hi,

I tried with 1.4.2 and 1.5.0_02 and both worked for the button. (Problem
was releated with my setup)
