Hi, I have Eclipse 3.1.2, and I have installed plugins for
Visual Editor 1.1.0.1
GEF 3.1
EMF 2.1.0
I am following directions in the article "Build GUIs with the Eclipse
Visual Editor project" by David Gallardo.
However, I don't see much evidence that my Eclipse is recognizing VE as
demonstrated in the article. When I go to create a Visual Class, I don't
see the radio buttons for "frame", "panel", "applet", "other" like in the
article. If I go ahead and create the class, I do not see the Widget
section or the VE section.
Is there something else that I have to enable or do my plugin versions not
match?
Any help would be appreciated.

Chris,
David Gallardo's article is based off an earlier version of the Visual
Editor. The New Visual Class wizard has been redesigned since then.
You select the UI framework you'd like to work with in the Styles tree
on the left (Swing, SWT, AWT, etc). Then you can choose Frame, Panel,
Applet. I'm not sure what you're referring to with the Widget section
or the VE section - maybe the palette? It defaults as collapsed on the
right side of the editor - you click the Palette bar and it will expand
to show you the widgets available to you. If you click the arrow at the
top of the bar, the palette will stay open.
Up to date documentation of VE 1.1 is included in the Eclipse help, or
online here:
http://help.eclipse.org/help31/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse. ve.doc/topics/tve_overview.html
Hope this helps,
- Jeff

I have been having problems getting SWT to show up in the palette. I tried
your suggestion to pick SWT in the Styles tree, which up to now I hadn't been
doing. It created code for a shell, but the palette still has only Swing and AWT.
Earlier, I tried a downloaded example, SimpleSWTBrowser.java, but it showed
up in the designer as just a bean called sShell, the name in the program. The
program runs fine, I just want to be able to use the designer on SWT. I'm
not sure whether SimpleSWTBrowser.java is even one of the VE examples I
downloaded.
Thanks, Ralph
I have VE 1.101, EMF2.12 and GEF3.10

When you have SWT in a project, do you have SWT Library added in your
project's classpath? If you do not then the SWT palette will not show up.
