[ve-dev] Help with generating complex constraint objects

[Gerald Rosenberg <gerald@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Working on implementing 

protected
IJavaObjectInstance convertConstraint(Object constraint) {

in FormLayoutPolicyHelper.  Given that the
"constraint" parameter is of type CellConstraints, and is a
singleton, how do I specify the further qualification of the constraint

1) to use a particular method, in this case ".xy(int col, int
row)",
2) with assigned method parameters of my choice, and 
3) yield an IJavaObjectsInstance.  

None of the existing layouts provide a reasonably close example. 

An example of the desired form of the jPanel.add(Component c, Constraint
cc) statements to be generated by VE:

private JPanel getJPanel() {

if (jPanel == null) {

String colSpec = "...";

String rowSpec = "...";

FormLayout formLayout = new FormLayout(colSpec, rowSpec);

CellConstraints cc = new CellConstraints();

jPanel = new JPanel();

jPanel.setLayout(formLayout);

jPanel.add(getJButton1(), cc.xy(1,1)); // add at col 1, row 1

jPanel.add(getJButton2(), cc.xy(2,1)); // add at col 2, row 1

}

return jPanel;

}

Thanks,
Gerald
