VE only shows ContentPane [message #106853]

The visual editor appears to be functional, but it is only showing the
JFrame. All the components that are assigned to the JFrame's contentPane do
not appear. This occured after I reverted back to a previous eclipse
configuration because the JBoss Workflow IDE doesn't get along with
MyEclipse. That is a long story.

When I put the mouse over the displayed JFrame, I get a message (I wish it
would stay up). The message is:
------------
contentPane:java.lang.IllegalArgumentException(IWAV0167E access by method
name(getContentPane) (not by Proxy) requires a receiver.)
------------

I don't think I ever saw this message before, so I assume it is telling what
the problem is. The GUI compiles and runs. I just can't get the VE editor
back. Can someone suggest how I might get the visual editor of this JFrame
back?

Try it in a config with only Eclipse SDK 3.1, VE 1.1.0.1, EMF 2.1, and
GEF 3.1. MyEclipse is often different levels of these projects and
causes conflicts.

Is there a way to have multiple configurations for Eclipse, or do I need
separate (eclipse root) folders for each configuration?

AS far as I know you need separate roots. There are probably some
complex way of doing it, but I myself have at least five different
configurations for my work.

I created an eclipse with just the Visual Editor and the Maven IDE. This
was working fine. I tried the same project and got the exact same error.
Is there anyway to interpret the error. The Initialize code is elementary:

private void initialize() {
this.setSize(516, 395);
this.setName("jarSearchFrame");
this.setDefaultCloseOperation(javax.swing.JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLO SE);
this.setContentPane(getJContentPane());
this.setTitle("Archive Searcher");
this.addWindowListener(new java.awt.event.WindowAdapter()
{
public void windowClosing(java.awt.event.WindowEvent
evt)
{
exitForm(evt);
}
});
}

/**
* This method initializes jContentPane
*
* @return javax.swing.JPanel
*/
private JPanel getJContentPane() {
if (jContentPane == null) {
jContentPane = new JPanel();
jContentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
jContentPane.add(getStatusPanel(), java.awt.BorderLayout.SOUTH);
jContentPane.add(getSplitPane(), java.awt.BorderLayout.CENTER);
}
return jContentPane;
}

When I run the program I get the expected JFrame with all the components
showing.

What is Maven? Could you try just Eclipse 3.1 SDK, GEF 3.1, and EMF 2.1?

I reinstalled with just Eclipse 3.1 SDK, GEF 3.1, and EMF 2.1. The same
problem persists.

I got it to work by deleting the project from Eclipse, and then importing
the project back into Eclipse. There must be something in the workspace
that needed to be reset before it would interpret the code. Any ideas?
