eclipse-windowbuilder / windowbuilder Goto Github PK

Hello,
After having installed: Eclipse 4.21, Java 17 support for Eclipse 2021-09 (4.21), Window Builder 1.9.7 from
https://download.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/lastgoodbuild/

I started Eclipse (with JDK17) and discovered that WB seems not work correctly :

See above the log message:

Thanks for your support

for some reason, DesignerMethodBinding does not implement public boolean isSyntheticRecordMethod();

We need the ability to hide the options from the context menu that are not used and could cause problems with our existing implementations. I.e. we need to be able to only show the basic actions in the context menu such as the Cut, Copy, Paste and Delete actions.

Solution description: I have added preferences to the DesignContextMenuProvider class in the buildContextMenu method. These preferences are not available to the user but can be set by using the InstanceScope. The default for these preferences are set to true and therefore will always show all the actions as previously defined unless the developer incorporating windowbuilder into their product sets the preferences to false.

The two preferences are:

1. To hide the same actions as are found on the Windowbuilder toolbar, i.e. the Test and Refresh actions
2. To hide object specific actions that vary depending on which object the context menu is invoked

Following are screenshots of the context menu:
When preferences are set to true

When the toolbar preference is set to false

When the object specific preference is set to false

When both are set to false and only the basic actions remain

Are you interested in having a setup to easily create a development environment for your project's developers and contributors?

I originally created these "interim" Oomph setups that I have now moved to your Git repository, so the above link reflects the final functionality.

I currently use a intel mac and would like to move to a Apple Silicon Mac but I'm not clear about what will and won't work. First of all I'm unclear as to the status of an arm version of Eclipse, I would prefer to stay with the Intel version if it's not production ready. The main question would be the status of plugins for eclipse. I assume plain java only plugins will be ok but I was not sure about SWT. I don't use SWT in my Java applications but if WindowBuilder requires it and there isn't an arm version of SWT / Windobuilder then obviously that would mean sticking with intel code for now.

If rosetta2 allows me to run all my current dev tools that will be fine, it's just a little fuzzy about how rosetta2 works. I understand that is converts apps when they are installed into Apple Silicon arm code. So for example if I unzip a copy of ANT into folder will that count as installing. I did read an article about opening a terminal in intel compatibility mode.

At the moment there are so many variables and information overload I simply don't know which path to follow. All ARM or all Intel.

If anyone has arm Eclipse with WindowBuilder running or has any experiences which would help my decision making that would be perfect.

Can you mix and match - install arm version of Java JDK and Intel version of Eclipse for example ?

Using Zulu Java 11 LTS and Eclipse EE 2021.9 with WindowBuilder and JasperStudio plugins.

We needed the capability to hide the Windowbuilder toolbar as our application has its own toolbar that have similar functionality but not the same. Therefore to have both toolbars visible would cause confusion and interference.

The problem was that there was no way to hide this toolbar from our application without altering the Windowbuilder itself.

To solve this issue I have added a class called DesignCompositeManager that is used within Windowbuilder to determine whether to hide or show the WB toolbar.

This is done by creating the DesignCompositeManager object and passing it into the constructor of the DesignerEditor in our application.

The default for Windowbuilder looks as follows:

After setting the toolbar to be hidden it looks as follows:

Hi,
I receive an 'Unhandled event loop exception' exception (see attached) only when Eclipse runs JDK16.
When I use JDK16 for my workspace it works.

I use Eclipse 4.19 with JDK16 patches.

Would be nice if WB would also allow to use the new JFace Builder api, like ButtonFactory.

I guess effort for this would be very high, so I assume it is unlikely to be implemented in the near future.

Looks to me that WB still tries to configure the 32 bit platform.

` /**

• Configures given {@link TestProject} for using RCP.
  */
  public static void configureSWT(TestProject testProject) throws Exception {
  if (EnvironmentUtils.IS_WINDOWS) {
  testProject.addPlugin("org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86");
  } else if (EnvironmentUtils.IS_LINUX) {
  if (EnvironmentUtils.IS_64BIT_OS) {
  testProject.addPlugin("org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86_64");
  } else {
  testProject.addPlugin("org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86");
  }
  } else if (EnvironmentUtils.IS_MAC) {
  if (EnvironmentUtils.IS_MAC_COCOA) {
  if (EnvironmentUtils.IS_64BIT_OS) {
  testProject.addPlugin("org.eclipse.swt.cocoa.macosx.x86_64");
  } else {
  testProject.addPlugin("org.eclipse.swt.cocoa.macosx");
  }
  } else {
  testProject.addPlugin("org.eclipse.swt.carbon.macosx");
  }
  } else {
  throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Unsupported platform.");
  }
  }`

I've just started to try making applications using windowbuilder, but I have already met a serious problem that makes it impossible.
I have searched for hours online to no avail and tried common fixes for other similar issues - none of which have worked. When I follow the steps for making a new Swing or SWT application (both have this issue), the source code is correctly generated and runs but the design tab does not parse anything as I would expect.
File structure of my project (ok to my knowledge):

The parsing dialogue opens and closes instantly (reparsing does nothing either), and then I get this:

I have tried a full clean reinstall of eclipse and windowbuilder which changed nothing.

• Eclipse version: 4.19
• Windowbuilder version: 1.9.6.pre (tried 1.9.5 too but it kept installing nightly along with it)
• Other plugins: none
• Log file if useful (it goes over my head):
  .log
  Any Help is much appreciated.

As Eclipse moved to minimum Java 11 a longer time ago, we should also move WB to Java 11 to be able to use Java 11 API.

Any concerns with that?

I came across this annoying glitch or bug that makes the Windowbuilder basically unusable. So when adding in like composites, Eclipse starts to not respond and I have to restart, again I try and it does the same thing, so I restart again, then again, and again.

No crash logs or errors, eclipse just stops responding. Does anyone have any fix to this.

I am using Java 14 and using Eclipse 2020-09, as I believe, not at my computer right now to check, but I think that is it.

Any help is very appreciated.

Window builder 1.9.5 generates code for KeyStroke using CTRL_MASK (ALT_MASK, ...) which is deprecated since Java 9 please change those to new constants (CTRL_DOWN_MASK, ....)
And btw thank you for this great piece of software.

Can one of the PL's please activate discussions?

To ensure that WB works with the latest release we should build against. 2021-12 instead of 2020-09

When using the windowbuilder editor, there are various issues with code completion. As a workaround, the normal java editor can be opened on the side.

Hi,

I had done few test and confirmed.

Eclipse run using JDK11 and above, custom control properties not editable.
my custom control basically just inherits from swt text widget.

if eclipse run using JDK8 no issues :

It's long dead technology and updating codebase supporting dead technology to get rid of ancient guava doesn't make sense to me.

During my migration of the build from Google build to Tycho I keeped the Tycho configuration in a separate project. These days I prefer to have it in the top-level pom. I will update this and use use recent Tycho version.

As @lcaron was so kind to make WB also work with Java 17 I suggest we update your build verification to build WB on Java 17 as well as Java 11.

Btw. did we stop using Jenkins? @wimjongman do you know that? I though my Github build action were only used as addition.

AFAIK Google discontinue the GWT UI support. Window builder still has support for it, e.g. it has support for creating a GWT artifact via its wizard.

Should we remove it from WB code basis?

you can format the software like visual studio

@akurtakov I had to revert your changes because of the differences between java and guava. I have pushed your changes into a new branch. Please work from there.

I found out when trying to run the unit tests (there are 37000 unit tests!!) that windowbuilder mutates lists while iterating them.

Take a look for example at

org.eclipse.wb.internal.core.utils.ast.AstNodeUtils.removeDanglingNodes(Iterable<? extends ASTNode> nodes)

The replacement:

List<FieldDeclaration> fields = Lists.newArrayList(field_1, field_2);

with

List<FieldDeclaration> fields = Arrays.asList(field_1, field_2);

breaks

  /**
   * Removes "dangling" {@link ASTNode}-s.
   */
  public static void removeDanglingNodes(Iterable<? extends ASTNode> nodes) {
    Iterator<? extends ASTNode> I = nodes.iterator();
    while (I.hasNext()) {
      ASTNode node = I.next();
      if (isDanglingNode(node)) {
        I.remove();
      }
    }
  }

Trying to use WB under Linux crashes the VM.

I tried with Java 11 hotspot, J9 and Java 17 Temurin.

Trying to make the test run, I see the following errors:

For example:

[ERROR] The package org.xml.sax is accessible from more than one module: <unnamed>, java.xml

[ERROR]                          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[ERROR] SAXParseException cannot be resolved to a type

AFAIR @wimjongman handled in the past years the release of WB. We should document the process in the source code, so that we can look it up.

IIRC we following is necessary:

1.) a release record: https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/tools.windowbuilder/releases/
2.) Run the release job on Jenkins
3.) Update the Simrel record
4.) Maybe need a release review from the foundation

(wim)
The following is also required after release

• Update marketplace versions
• Increment feature versions
• Update the website https://www.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/download.php

@wimjongman is that sufficient for the release?

We need a new website. A one page website should be enough. Is there someone who can make a nice page for us?

• Introduction
• Videos
• Downloads
• Links to documentation
• Links to build engine
• Links to Github
  etc..

The current site is here:

https://git.eclipse.org/c/www.eclipse.org/windowbuilder.git/tree/

Sorry I know this is the wrong place for such a request but I don't know where else to contact the WindowBuilder Pro developer guru's.

I'm a long standing Java developer and WindowBuilder fan.

I think it only fair that I should contribute to the project in some way as it's so important to me.

I've not done any specific Eclipse PlugIn development before and would welcome some guidance as to books or up to date web tutorials which would bring my skill set up to a level when I can assist.

Sorry again for the post on GitHub.

Dave

This will prevent unrelated WS changes coming from the save actions.

I tried to install Window builder from here:
https://download.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/latest/

I also tried installing by manually downloading the zip file. The "create new visual classes" button doesn't display.
I'm using Eclipse 2021-12

Here are the errors returned by eclipse when using the "install new software" option:

Remove the Guava library

I will focus the usage of Eclipse IDE with WindowBuilder on my Surface Pro 7.
I am referring to my problems in #40 (and #47). Using the .bat File on the desktop allows me to start Eclipse like it should do. One side effect is, that I can't start Eclipse normally anymore with the standard "Eclipse.exe". The Error:

The .bat file looks like this (how it was shown to me):

"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-17\bin\java" -jar c:\Users\timng\eclipse\java-2021-09\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.6.300.v20210813-1054.jar

This is my current situation:

• Version: 2021-09 (4.21)
• Build id: I20210906-0500
• WindowsBuilder: 1.9.5
• Error Log after Creating jFrame (How do I upload the Error file here in GitHub (.log)

In the DesignerPlugin the installSecurityManager method prevents us from using the wibu security manager in our product. Can this method be removed safely?

public static JavaInfo parse(ICompilationUnit modelUnit) throws Exception {
    // SAS-1983 - WindowBuilder - Wibu - The installed version of Authoring freezes while opening screen
    // Incompatible security manager with the wibu security manager
    //DesignerPlugin.installSecurityManager();
    checkJavaVersion(modelUnit);
    final JavaInfoParser parser = new JavaInfoParser(modelUnit);
    return ExecutionUtils.runDesignTime(new RunnableObjectEx<JavaInfo>() {
      public JavaInfo runObject() throws Exception {
        return parser.parse();
      }
    });
  }

We commented out this method and did not notice any side-effects. We would like to migrate to the standard WindowBuilder code.

Windowbuilder has a whopping 37000 (Yes, 37K) unit tests. However, they are nowhere activated and I suspect there is a decent amount of rot.

It would be fantastic if we could give this some TLC.

Hi.

Even after reinstalling Eclipse and deleting .p2, .eclipse, and workspace folders on my home directory, WindowBuilder is still empty. Additionally, two entries pop up on the error tab, with their details included below.

I should also point out that this error also occurs on my past installs using the installer provided in the Eclipse website, with reasons I don't know about.

Installation Details:

• Using Manjaro Gnome
• Using Flatpak version from pamac

Build id: 20210910-1417

Nebula Widgets properties issues :

Build for WB is failing :

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.eclipse.cbi.maven.plugins:eclipse-jarsigner-plugin:1.1.3:sign (sign) on project org.eclipse.wb.os: [Mon Oct 18 10:02:13 UTC 2021] Unable to sign jar '/home/jenkins/agent/workspace/org.eclipse.windowbuilder/org.eclipse.wb.os/target/org.eclipse.wb.os-1.9.1-SNAPSHOT.jar': No route to host (Host unreachable) -> [Help 1]

According to [1], we should upgrate to EJP 1.3.2

[1]=https://www.eclipse.org/lists/cross-project-issues-dev/msg18545.html

The "Restore default value" feature on the Layout property causes the Layout property to disappear.

Steps to replicate:

1. Select any other layout other than BorderLayout (as BorderLayout is the default).
2. Right click on the layout property and from the context menu select "Restore default value"

The property can be restored by using the Undo option or the by closing the editor and re-opening the editor.

I'm currently trying to fix this issue, but I would like to know if anyone has some more insight as to what might be causing the issue?

Should it be here on GitHub or

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?bug_status=__open__&component=WindowBuilder&list_id=20972637&product=z_Archived

Thanks

See 600aabd#diff-5eb7f2f72f1f50faa4913e61850854634fd7c031198856d6e5ff1dd92debe5b5R92

IMHO we should simply remove the version check.

Good evening

I have the following error in pom.xml file
Please could you help me.
Thank you

Multiple annotations found at this line:

I wanted this, but it appears to be an old issue.

I have forked repo and will see whether I can provide a solution and pull request

Try to use google to find the WindowBuilder repository or issue tracker, all you can find is pages with dead ends:

https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/tools.windowbuilder/developer
https://www.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/
https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/windowbuilder

This leaves the impression that the project is no longer alive.

We need the ability to obtain the GraphicalViewer object from the DesignComposite. This is so that we can use it in our application specific drag and drop feature.

I have added a public getter method to the DesignComposite class

see PR #106

We require the ability to select which color pickers are available when selecting the foreground/background of a widget.

Previously all the color pickers were available at all times and there was no easy way to hide them, other than removing them from the WindowBuilder.
Previously the color chooser (for swing widgets) would display the following Color chooser dialog:

I have therefore created a preference page in the WindowBuilder category called "Color Chooser". On this preference page it is now able to select which of the color pickers to include in this dialog.

Along with this I have also added a "Custom Colors" color picker that allows the user to specify any color that may or may not appear on any of the other color pickers.

Another small addition to this Color Chooser dialog is that of the warning on the "System colors" tab. This warning has been added to warn the user of the change that may occur in the selected colors depending current system.

Linked to PR #91

I still get an empty palette with Java 17 when I install the latest WindowBuilder plugin in my RCP application with the p2 Update Manager. In Eclipse however it seems to work. The following error is thrown when I open and click on the design tab:

With Java <16 there was no problem. I also tried a fresh installation with the latest built to no avail.

I can reproduce this error on MacOSX and Windows using
Eclipse Adoptium, java.version: 17.0.1
WindowBuilder version: 1.9.7.202112211354
