Kommentar zu netbeans: schema2beans support (5) – target project configuration von riot

Just a quick note on the article: there’s a broken link to the “last entry” at the beginning. It refers to eppleton.com instead of eppleton.de. Would be nice, if you fixed this.

Regards,

riot.

Kommentar zu Quick Tip 25: New Persistence in 6.7 Window System von Dieter Bogdoll

Dieter Bogdoll — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 12:10:27 +0000

Hi, me again.
I thought I had already tested it, but it seems I have done it wrong.
The use case I want to have is supported right out of the box from netbeans.

E.g. you have one TopComponent w/o that annotation and you are using the old mechanism via Externalizable. Now we have already some settings in this format.
If I now add the Annotation and impl. writeProperty readProperty. The first time I open my app again it will use readExternalizable to load the serialized data and on closing the app (or if autostore=true) writeProperty will be used and from now on you could remove your writeExternal and readExternal.

br, Dieter

Hi, how can I migrate now from the old mechanism to the new one?
E.g. I have an application rolled out using he old mechanism, but
I would like (at least for some types of top components) use now the new
one.

I don’t want to loose the existing settings which are stored in the old format.

br, Dieter

Kommentar zu What are PropertyPanels meant for? von admin

Hi Timon,

I think you refer to the PropertySheet:

http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/javadoc/org-openide-explorer/org/openide/explorer/propertysheet/PropertySheet.html

while this article talks about PropertyPanel:

http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/javadoc/org-openide-explorer/org/openide/explorer/propertysheet/PropertyPanel.html

PropertyPanel is a Component that displays one single Property. It can be used to compose data aware forms with a nicer layout than the generic PropertySheet.

Regards,

Toni

We found that the most convenient way to influence the properties displayed on the propertyPanel is to create a BeanInfo class. The PropertySheet will use the BeanInfo to determine which properties should be displayed and in what order.

I think the bean info editor is available when you have the ejb netbeans plugin installed.

Kommentar zu A Visual Database Explorer von riot

I’m currently using this example (or similar from a netbeans page) to get a deeper insight to the visual api.

Is there any url or book, you can recommend to get deeper into the possibilities with and the structure of the Netbeans Visual API? (Best Practices, Paradigm)?

I’m currently trying to create VMDNodes with VMDPins that represent key-value pairs where values are editable and I’m kinda stuck at this, cause I don’t really get the point, how the stuff is meant to be used.
I’m missing good documentation on the api.

Thanks for any help.

I’m not sure why but this site is loading extremely slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a issue on my end? I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.

“the setup cant be installed because c:/program files already contains terminal folder”

I guess the problems we’re trying to solve are a bit different after all.

In my case, I was creating a mechanism for client code to display an arbitrary set of properties without having to know or use the platform’s Nodes API. My API had no dependencies on the NetBeans Platform APIs (which is noteworthy only because we had a requirement to make this particular feature available to both NetBeans Platform and standalone applications).

Since you don’t need to do that for this demo application, my approach is probably overkill, but for the sake of completeness my properties API looked similar to this:

interface PropertyProvider {
// class that has properties implements this interface
List getPropSets();
}

interface PropSet {
// name of this property set (e.g. “Basic” or “Advanced”)
String getName();

// provides a list of all properties
List getPropertyNames();

// provides value for a single property
Object getValue(String propertyName);

// an extended interface provided a setValue method
}

Not very exciting, but it maps nicely to Sheet.Set and Node.Property when running inside a platform application and to the L2FProd Common Components (http://www.l2fprod.com/common/) property component for a standalone Swing application.
