Hi,
I have used the VE.It is so excellect that I plan to develop a J2ME UI
development tool like VE. I want to begin to study VE architecture from a
simple example when I found VE-examples-1.0M2.zip provied by VE group.
I have install the correct version of GEF(Build 3.0) and EMF(build
R200406280827). The version of VE and Examples are 1.0M2.When I read the
plugin.xml and source code of VE Examples plugin, I found that there
should be two new Editors and a lot of new Java Bean.s
But when I copy the features and plugins directories of VE Examples
plugin to my Eclipse, I find there are no new editors declared in the
plugin.xml of VE Examples plugin in my eclipse.In preference, I find the
example plugin has been installed.
Problems:
1.Whether the VE Examples plugin is well
2.What will this plugin do
3.If this plugin is well, how to activate it.

It's really a lame example. I can say that, I wrote it. :-) It was a
start way back at the general VE approach but then the java version of
it has taken full time and it hasn't been upgraded. The idea is that
when we start making things API in upcoming releases that the examples
will be fleshed out.
If your tool is going to be basically a java editor like the java ve but
just against different components, it might be better to extend the
java ve instead of using the non-benas examples. The new non-beans
"editors" are not really of much use at the moment.
To activate the example java beans, which begins to show you how to
extend the java ve for new special beans, you need:
1) The binary built version of the plugin needs to be in your eclipse.
The source version doesn't work because the runtime jars don't exist
that are needed.
2) You need to activate the beans for a project. They don't just appear.
Like anything to do with java, you have to have the "code" in your build
path. to do this you need to add that library containing the new beans
to the build path. Goto the build path of the project, go to the
libraries tab, select Add Library and then select Visual Examples. This
will add the beans to your classpath. They will now show up on the
palette from within the ve. (Again these are simple donothing beans, but
they illustrate examples of how to extend the java ve).
