Hi,

I am trying to convert a RCP application which uses the MiGLayout to an
RAP application. After removing all compiler errors and trying to start
the application I get a ClassNotFoundException for the class
org.eclipse.swt.graphics.drawable. When removing the MiGLayout related
code the exception disapears. So I suspect the MigLayout to cause this.
Now I wanted to ask if someone has experiences with MigLayout and RAP and
if there is some kind of workaround or another Layout Manager with better
support for RAP.

Hi Gunnar,

I just take a quick glance at the source of MigLayout. I don't see any
bigger problem porting this to RAP.

You will need to replace some lines of code (like new Color =>
Graphics.getColor(..); ). For the GC related stuff I can see (eg
getAverageCharWidth) you can use the other methods on the RWT Graphics
class like Graphics#getCharHeight and Graphics#getAvgCharWidth.

Anything else should be fine in my eyes.
Would be great to hear from your if it works.

Hi Benny,

Thank you for your advice. I followed it and edited the MiGLayout Source
Code replacing the errors the compiler gave me. And it works. Looks a bit
weird because I removed some code lines using a GC class, but I think I
should ask questions regarding to this in the MiG Forum.

Thanks again,

Gunnar

Hi Gunnar

I ran into the same problem using MigLayout in my RAP application.
So I followed your instructions on:
http://migcalendar.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2355
Thanks for that!

So I was wondering if you use your modification productiv or have you run into trouble?
My application looks fine but I'm not sure how stable it is.

thanks and greets
Flavio
