How to turn off design in Mac OS X? [message #67280] Sun, 17 October 2004 22:27 Go to next message

When I open a Swing project, the VE seems to force itself on me.
What if I simply want to work on the code without the VE intruding?
For one thing, the VE adds some sluggishness to Eclipse, it seems.

Thanks,

Interesting that you've got VE running on Mac OS X. If you want to edit
the code easily while in VE, hit the pause button on the Eclipse toolbar
(two vertical yellow bars). This will pause the code synchronization
feature of the VE (but when it's paused you cannot make changes in the
design or properties view).

You can also open the file in the normal Java editor by right-clicking
on the file and choosing Open With->Java Editor.

A bit more: After I let the VE help me to create a Swing file,
and then take out all special notation in it and copy it to a another
project, it still opens the source *and* design views.

Only after I change the class name, does it stop treating it specially.
There must be some other info somewhere that Eclipse is tracking and
will not let go of.

Eclipse itself remembers the last editor that you used to open a given resource, and will use it again by default.
You can override the default with OpenWith ....

VE does not provide any notations in the file itself for this. VE comments are optional and typically store design time
FF locations.
