Hello,

how is it possible to add a new item to the Swing palette from a jar file?

I have my own extension fo jTable packaged in a JAR file without BeanInfo.
I can easy add this JAR in NetBeans palette but how can I add it anyhow in
Eclipse?

Thanks!

If that's too complicated, you can also just use the Choose Bean dialog
to drop your widget.

Hope this helps,

If I want to distribute a JavaBean is it quite complicated for the user to
add it to the palette as I see.

Yes, it is complicated. Hopefully this will be an area that development
will target enhancing in VE 1.2. Here's the relevant bug report that
you can watch for work on this feature:
