Problem: How to create a FormAttachment using VE.
Eclipse 3.0.1
org.eclipse.ve 1.0.2.1
org.eclipse.emf 2.0.1
org.eclipse.gef 3.0.1=20
I used the Visual Class wizard to create a subclass of Composite called =
MyComposite.
I then used a FormLayout manager for MyComposite.
I created a FormData bean using Choose Bean.
At this point, I am unclear how to create a FormAttachment using VE.
Moreover, the FormData instance does not let me add a value to
its top, bottom, left, and right.
The "Using the Visual Editor for Java" help does not appear to provide =
any specifics.
I appreciate any feedback.

John,
The VE currently doesn't have design time support for creating
containers using FormLayout. This feature is on the plan for a future
release of the VE. Perhaps you can use GridLayout in the meantime?
Hope this helps,
- Jeff

John, see the help VE help within Eclipse, topic: Editing Java in the
Visual Editor->Developing Java Classes with the Visual Editor->Laying
out components->SWT Layout Managers.
Unfortuately the source code pattern for using the FormLayout in the VE
hasn't been specified yet, so it'd be hard to code against it. We're
looking for help from the community in designing this feature (what the
UI feedback will be like and the code pattern used) so any feedback or
ideas would be helpful. You can participate in the discussion here:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=77683
Hope this helps,
- Jeff
