Re: [ve-dev] Read/Write of complex LayoutManager values
Rich and Joe --  as always, thanks for the help. 

Next problem -- that is, first next problem -- is that I cannot seem to get my "adapter" class (RemoteVMAdapter) to be recognized on the remote VM.  My "getBeanTypeProxy(targetVMHelperTypeName)" call is, however, always failing -- returning null.  I have verified that VE is talking to the remote VM, sending a request and receiving a response.  Unfortunately, the response is signalling Command.Get_Class_Not_Found.  Result is the same whether I run the plugin as an exported project or as an Eclipse application.

The full routine (located within my FormLayoutPolicyHelper) is:

        private boolean getFormLayoutHelperProxy() {
                String targetVMHelperTypeName = "net.certiv.ve.jfc.targetvm.formlayout.RemoteVMAdapter"; //$NON-NLS-1$

                if (isContainerBeanInvalid()) return false;

                formLayoutHelperType = getContainerBeanProxy().getProxyFactoryRegistry().
                                getBeanTypeProxyFactory().getBeanTypeProxy(targetVMHelperTypeName);
                        // ^^^^ always returns null

                try {
                        formLayoutHelperProxy = (IBeanTypeProxy) formLayoutHelperType.newInstance();

                        IMethodProxy setContainerMethodProxy = formLayoutHelperProxy.getMethodProxy(
                                "setContainer", "java.awt.Container;"); //$NON-NLS-1$ //$NON-NLS-2$

                        setContainerMethodProxy.invoke(formLayoutHelperProxy, getContainerBeanProxy());
                } catch (Exception e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                        return false;
                }
                return true;
        }


My "proxy.jars" is set as:

                vmAdapter.jar=/net.certiv.ve/vm_bin/

where "vmAdapter.jar" contains the adapter class, "net.certiv.ve" is the plugin ID, and vm_bin is the output directory specified in build.properties:

                output.vmAdapter.jar = vm_bin/

The vm_bin directory does contain the adapter class file at the right path.

I have also tried adding a registration to the plugin.xml, but with no success:

        <extension
                point="org.eclipse.ve.java.core.registrations">
                <registration
                        container="net.certiv.ve.jfc.targetvm.formlayout.RemoteVMAdapter"
                        description="RemoteVMAdapter">
                        <library runtime="vmAdapter.jar"/>
              </registration>
        </extension>

Not sure that I got the right extension point and container.

Anything more or different I am supposed to do to get the adapter recognized on the remote VM?  Any suggestions on how to further debug this problem? 

In the hope that you might have a moment to take a closer look, I have attached the plugin.xml, MANIFEST.MF, etc project definition files.

--------------------------------------------
Second problem is that I need to be able to use my "FormLayoutPolicyHelper" from the layout customizer invoked from the menu choice that runs FormLayoutLayoutPage.  Since FormLayoutLayoutPage is run as a ".class" file from the menu selection, it does not get set with the VisualContainerPolicy.  FormLayoutPolicyHelper, however, ultimately needs the policy. 

I am using the current selection's EditPart, as provided through the "handleSelectionChanged" method of FormLayoutLayoutPage to get the policy:

        protected VisualContainerPolicy getPolicy(EditPart editPart) {
                ContainerGraphicalEditPart gPart = (ContainerGraphicalEditPart) editPart;
                FormLayoutEditPolicy fep = (FormLayoutEditPolicy) gPart
                        .getEditPolicy(EditPolicy.LAYOUT_ROLE);
                VisualContainerPolicy policy = fep.getContainerPolicy();
        return policy;

Seems to work, but this is the policy relied upon by the "getContainerBeanProxy()" method, which is used in the first question above (and therefore makes it suspect).  Can you verify that this use/approach is proper?  If not, how do I get the correct policy to set to the FormLayoutPolicyHelper for use in the layout customizer? 

Thanks,
Gerald
