Hi,

This is one of my first steps using Windowbuilder. My environment is Eclipse 3.7.1 running on 32bit Win7 with Java 1.7.0_01.

I use Windowbuilder to create a simple SWT Dialog for user/password entering. I want to bind the fields to a bean that is as same as simple. The default Windowbuilder dialog class returns a 'result' field of type 'Object'. I can see 'result' as a bean in the bindings view. When I change results to be my model bean type, it disappears from the bindings view and all menues used for bindings. Why?

Cheers,
Kai

package com.hackemesser.util.ui;

import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;

public class LoginDialog extends Dialog {

	private LoginBean m_result = new LoginBean();
	protected Shell shlLogin;
	private Text username;
	private Text password;

	/**
	 * Create the dialog.
	 * 
	 * @param parent

	public LoginDialog(Shell parent, int style) {
		super(parent, style);
		setText("Login");
	}

	/**

	 * 
	 * @return the result
	 */
	public LoginBean open() {
		createContents();
		shlLogin.open();
		shlLogin.layout();
		Display display = getParent().getDisplay();
		while (!shlLogin.isDisposed()) {
			if (!display.readAndDispatch()) {
				display.sleep();
			}
		}
		return m_result;
	}

	/**
	 * Create contents of the dialog.
	 */
	private void createContents() {
		shlLogin = new Shell(getParent(), SWT.DIALOG_TRIM | SWT.APPLICATION_MODAL);
		shlLogin.setText("Login");
		shlLogin.setMinimumSize(new Point(200, 50));
		shlLogin.setSize(302, 212);
		shlLogin.setLayout(new FormLayout());

		Label lblUsername = new Label(shlLogin, SWT.NONE);
		FormData fd_lblUsername = new FormData();
		fd_lblUsername.top = new FormAttachment(0, 13);
		fd_lblUsername.left = new FormAttachment(0, 10);

		fd_btnStorePassword.left = new FormAttachment(username, 0, SWT.LEFT);
		btnStorePassword.setLayoutData(fd_btnStorePassword);
		btnStorePassword.setText("&Store Password");

		shlLogin.setTabList(new Control[] { username, password, btnOk, btnCancel });
	}
}

package com.hackemesser.util.ui;

public class LoginBean {
private String username;
private String password;
private boolean storePassword;
public String getUsername() {
	return username;
}
public void setUsername(String username) {
	this.username = username;
}
public String getPassword() {
	return password;
}
public void setPassword(String password) {
	this.password = password;
}
public boolean isStorePassword() {
	return storePassword;
}
public void setStorePassword(boolean storePassword) {
	this.storePassword = storePassword;
}

}


Displaying that code shows the following in the windowbuilder bindings view:
index.php/fa/6429/0/
The bean/field m_result is missing in the bindings view.

I just need to change the type of m_result to 'Object' and it looks like this:

index.php/fa/6430/0/
As you can see, m_object appears in the beans list.

See my problem?

Cheers,
Kai

Tried that on Java 7 as well? Could that come by a missing dependency? (My project is Maven dependency managed)

I've analysed your rcp-test project. You used Eclipse 3.6.2 to tell me you couldn't reproduce it where I wrote I have this problem with Eclipse 3.7.1. I use Java 7, you use Java 6. Can you try that again in the given environment, please?

Cheers,
Kai

I also tried it with Eclipse 3.7 and JDK 7 and it worked fine for me as well.
