Hi, I'm new to using WindowBuilder and to the forums. I'm trying to build a GUI, but I noticed that the changes I am making in the design/source code panels only show up when I click preview and not when I actually run the file as an application. I tried refreshing and restarting and have looked for a mistake in my code. I have heard that WindowBuilder sometimes causes problems when one tries to change the source code too much, rather than just use the design panel, but I have not seen any solutions other than to not use WindowBuilder. Has anyone had a similar problem or know if there's a simple fix or any solution? Thank you!!

Hard to say without an example...

I had the same issue when I was starting to develop RCP applications.
Maybe you also created a rcp-application and forgot to clear the persisted state?

Did you try running your application with the -clearPersistedState flag
set? Add it to the end of the Arguments tab in the run config.
