Classpath for custom components [message #1827565]

I'm trying to factor out a JPanel to a separate class but it then ended up not showing in the designer (neither in the component tree nor the rendered layout). An anonymous subclass panel created as

contentPane.add(new JPanel() {}, BorderLayout.EAST);

shows up ok but if I then extract it to a nested or separate class (using Eclipse refactorings) it doesn't.

I then tried to add it to the component palette and got a ClassNotFoundException for it (see attached screenshot) which I guess indicates the actual problem. The class and it's (default and only) constructor are public. Moving the class to a different project on the build path didn't help.

So my question is, what is the classpath for windowbuilder? How can I debug this?

My Eclipse installation is 2020-03 for Java Devs on 64 bit OpenJDK 14.0.1.7 with OpenJ9. Eclipse JDK14 support is installed (and preview features are enabled on the project).

I'm only guessing, but it could be related to the fact that class MokeTest is in error, according to your attached screen capture. What happens when you fix the errors in class MokeTest ?

No, that doesn't change anything (nor would I really expect it to, Eclipse tends to compile all the classes it can compile, even replacing some errors with placeholder exceptions).
