Hi,
I used VE M1 (with Eclipse 3.0.0 M8) and I enjoyed the methods getJLabel
for each Label, because I have to set several properties (f.e. the
Dimension, Color, Textstyle..)
In S20040628 there is no method like getJLabel and the Label are only
local in the method initialize() :-((
How can I create this getJLabel()-methods?
How can I use them as member-Variables without editing the source?
Thanks and have a nice Weekend
Winni

Hi Winni,
We've fixed this so that labels will have global fields rather than get
methods (to cut down on source bloat as labels don't need to be changed
in 90% of the cases).
This fix hasn't made it into a stable build yet. If you'd like to
change the behavior yourself before a new build comes out, you can
follow these instructions (from an earlier newsgroup post)
Go to the eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.ve.jfc_1.0.0\overrides\javax\swi ng
directory and edit the JLabel.override file in a text editor, and remove
this line:
<addedEObjects xsi:type="jcm:BeanDecorator" beanLocation="LOCAL"/>
The same goes for the Label.override in the awt directory.
For the fix we compromised by making Labels have a global field, but not
a get method (will be initialized in the parent's method.) For
manipulation of labels after the construction, in events, etc, you can
change the global field directly, rather than the usual get methods
employed by the VE code pattern. e.g. label1.setText("foo"); rather than
getLabel1().setText("foo");
Eventually we hope to have a refactoring so that any given bean can be
promoted to having its own field and get method, or demoted to being
initialized in its parent's method.

You still don't need a getLabel() to change the properties. You can
either change them at design time through the property sheet, or at
runtime you can change them in the initialize method. The only time you
need a getLabel() is if you want to change at some time AFTER it has
been initialized.

For my taste the code just look cleaner with getLabel(). I still achieve
getLabel() doing this workaround: I drop a new label on the "empty
background". Hope that helps. Although I don't know how 1.0 behaves.
I would like to see a global switch for that issue.

Marcus,
There's an easier way to prevent this behavior from occuring. Open the
file
eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.ve.jfc_1.0.1/overrides/javax/swi ng/JLabel.override
in a text editor and delete the following line from that file:
<addedEObjects xsi:type="jcm:BeanDecorator" beanLocation="GLOBAL_LOCAL"/>
You can also remove the same line from overrides/java/awt/Label.override
The issue with customizable source patterns and flexibility of whether
get methods are generated for each member is still being worked on.
Hopefully this feature will be addressed in the next major release of
the VE.

Thank you!! That did the trick :)

Cool!
thanx!

BTW: this procedure is still nice to create non-GUI beans (e.g.
DefaultListModel etc.) with VE-styled get methods.
