Re: UML module for NetBeans 6.8M2

2009-12-09T20:42:37Z

It hasn't been tested in 6.8, but you're welcome to try. That said,
using the dev builds and Beta Update Center plugins for commercial
development is not recommended.

According to the 6.5 Release Notes, "five diagram types are supported:
activity, class, sequence, state and use case diagrams", so some things
may still work. Again, not recommended for commercial development. (see
http://netbeans.org/community/releases/65/relnotes.html#uml-plugin for
more details)

For non-commercial use, though.

There's a difference between "not supported" and "doesn't work."

Even without official support, does the NB UML module work with 6.8?
Has anyone tried it?

NetBeans stopped generating code

2009-12-09T18:20:21Z

I've made a couple GUIs using NetBeans (both in the same package) and one of them stopped generating code. For example, dragging a new component onto the JFrame should produce the relevant code for adding that component (in the grayed-out portion of the source). Yesterday they both worked. Today, when I drag new components onto one of them, the new component shows in the design preview and I can edit it, but nothing is added in the code. Running the project shows none of the changes. Editing the existing components does not affect the code either. For example changing the text of a JLabel shows the old text when I run the project.

The other JFrame works fine. It's as if one of them is suddenly locked. Isn' that weird? :?

The UML plugin has not been actively supported for over a year, and
unfortunately there are no plans to continue development for this module.

Visual Paradigm does offer a free, community edition of their UML tool
that works with NetBeans:

How to disable annoying automatic-quotes in xml attributes.

Sorry BM, but you are wrong. Read this recommendation one more time.

Code:

[40] STag ::= '<' Name (S Attribute)* S? '>' [ WFC: Unique Att Spec ]
[41] Attribute ::= Name Eq AttValue [ VC: Attribute Value Type ]
[25] Eq ::= [b]S?[/b] '=' [b]S?[/b]
"S (white space) consists of one or more space (#x20) characters, carriage returns, line feeds, or tabs. "

So both:
[foo="bar"], not as [foo = "bar"] are right XML.

why do ejb methods only show up in Enterpise Beans node for non WebService Session and Entity Beans

2009-12-09T17:10:12Z

in projects/projectxxx/Enterprise_Beans node,

methods do not show for MDB message driven beans or web service Session Beans.

any particulary reason why netbeans does not show them?

methods do appear in EntityBeans, non-webservice Session Beans.

WebSerivces node does show web-service methods;

no-where does MDB message driven bean methods show up - except in navigator for source

unlock variable change in Swing GUI Forms

2009-12-09T16:47:51Z

Please tell how disable Netbeans control of variables, example

// Variables declaration - do not modify//GEN-BEGIN:variables
private javax.swing.JButton jButton1;
static javax.swing.JList jList1;
private javax.swing.JPanel jPanel1;
...
private javax.swing.JTabbedPane jTabbedPane1;
// End of variables declaration//GEN-END:variables

Automatic changing every time after I use netbeans to

private javax.swing.JList jList1;

It's complicate, but it need to be that way !

pretty sure if you remove your .netbeans/6.x dir and restart netbeans problem will go away;

Re: UML module for NetBeans 6.8M2

I would be very disappointed if Netbeans abandoned the UML plugin.
However it seems clear the module is supported in 6.7 from the website:

I don't know if 6.8 is obsoleting it?

the dev builds have lots more modules you can use/enable than the released

newbie question 3

2009-12-09T14:00:04Z

Most code examples on the web today only provide the .java file. Which is all that is really needed. The problem that you are running into is that when you use the Free Form GUI builder inside of Netbeans it makes a 'hidden'-ish file. This file (dubbed .form) is used by the Maitess (spelling?) Free Form builder to position the components visually on the screen.

newbie question 2

2009-12-09T13:56:07Z

You can set the properties of any swing object a numerous amount of ways.

While you are in the free form editor there should be a window to the right side of the screen called 'Properties' and if you have your SplitPane selected there will be an attribute in the 'Properties' window called 'orientation'. This property is a dropdown box that allows you to select either HORIZONTAL_SPLIT or VERTICAL_SPLIT.

Another way of setting this property is to go to the 'Inspector' window (located towards the bottom left by default) and right click the SplitPane in question. In the context menu there should be a menu item 'Customize Code'. Here you can delve inside that mystical place of blocked code.

newbie question 1

2009-12-09T13:48:31Z

Although you clearly mentioned that you didn't want to delve into the depths of version control for your projects, I would HIGHLY recommend it. Netbeans has multiple types of version control prebuilt into it. Personally I have become quite fond of the Svn (http://plugins.netbeans.org/PluginPortal/faces/PluginDetailPage.jsp?pluginid=11492) functionality of it and use it religiously on all projects.

However, if you wish to steer from version control, there is nothing stopping you from just copying your project directory and pasting it with something like <projectname>_step2.

Netbeans itself does not have an export feature. Although there is a plugin that will zip up your project and save it where you specify, located here (http://plugins.netbeans.org/PluginPortal/faces/PluginDetailPage.jsp?pluginid=10235).

Maven/Nexus/Hudson Problem

2009-12-09T13:44:54Z

Thanks for the reply. It is not credentials because I turned that off in Nexus until I could get the plumbing right.

However you made me think about what was going on and I think I know what the difference is between and IDE build that executes Maven and and IDE Hudson builder that executes Maven.

When I run build in NetBeans it uses the pom.xml AND the project property to execute the Maven build. Therefore when I added the "deploy" goal to the build action NetBeans included "deploy" in the mvn command line and maven used the "<distributionmanagement>" tag in the pom.xml to find the Nexus repository.

However in the case of the Subversion check-in Hudson grabs the sources and the pom.xml checked in from NetBeans to execute Maven but since the "deploy" goal is only defined in the Netbeans project property and NOT in the pom.xml Hudson does not "know" to run a deploy goal.

I'm not sure how I will proceed from here yet (I'm a Maven newbie) but at least I know what is happening now. I wonder if this means each developer will have to hand edit the pom.xml in NetBeans or if I can do something else? If anybody has an idea I would appreciate it.

newbie question 3

2009-12-09T12:50:40Z

As a newbie I'm highly dependent upon published code examples to help me get my app moving in the right direction.

However, many of the code examples published on the Web puzzle me. For example, I was interested in CardLayoutDemo:

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/examples/layout/CardLayoutDemoProject/src/layout/CardLayoutDemo.java

How do I use something like that? I downloaded it, I created an 'empty' project with the right names etc, and I copied the code in. Well, I had to copy it outside the IDE to get it to work. After doing that, it runs OK, but if I try to go into the Design tab, I get some incomprehensible error message 'the form seems to be corrupted'. What form? Why does the code run OK if it is corrupted? Why does it only 'seem' to be corrupted?

What's the right way to use these code examples?

Python debugging in Netbeans

2009-12-09T12:45:05Z

I'm having the same problem:/

Does anyone knows the solution?

I disabled firewall and it didn't helped (so looks like ports are not blocked by firewall).

newbie question 2

2009-12-09T12:40:53Z

Again apologies if the answer to this is documented - if so, point me at where I can find it.

I have just started using Netbeans for Swing projects. Why does the IDE prevent me from changing the generated source code? For instance I create a frame and drag a split pane into it. Then I drag a second split pane into the right-hand pane of the first. I want the second split to be vertical, but the IDE creates it as horizontal. It won't allow me to edit the 'Generated Code' where the splits are set up. So I have to add a setOrientation in MainFrame after InitComponents.

Why? The generated code is wrong. Why can't I change it? Is the answer to this documented somewhere so that I don't have to waste your time?

Andrew

newbie question 1

2009-12-09T12:32:38Z

I'm a user of an old version (6) of Visual Studio and MSC who is moving to Netbeans. I have a question: apologies if it's answered somewhere in the documentation:

I like to develop my projects by stages. For instance, I might start with a single frame plus a toolbar. Then I might add a doubly-split pane, then a tree in one pane, then a grid in another, etc.

In VS6, rightly or wrongly, I can do this just by copying the whole project directory and renaming it. Then I can play in the new project, and if it goes wrong I just delete the directory and try again by re-copying it. I find that if I start changing a project, and it goes wrong, I can never get to back to the start.

Can I do this in NetBeans? Or is there something better I can do? Please don't tell me to use version control software, that's too much overhead for a non-professional developer.

well that is inherent to java.. it should load faster on second opening

JOGL Canvas interaction with

I just moved from MS Visual Basic to Java. I have Netbeans 6.8 Beta and JOGL-PlugIn.

When I open Menu "File", "New Project", Categories: "Java, Projects: JOGL Application (Form Designer, GLCanvas)" I land in the Design View with a Label and an OpenGL Canvas. I can pick a a slider from the Palette window. So far o.k. but how can I get the slider to interact with the objects in the canvas, i.e. moving the slider should rotate the triangle and the square.

How to control the events? :?

moving files in Desktop Application Urgent problem

2009-12-09T07:59:30Z

First of all you should consider be more polite when asking in the forum. Otherwise nobody will reply to you.

You can resolve your problem quite easily by also moving your resources.

For example if your root package is named myapp then original resources are in the package myapp.resources. When you moved your forms to package myapp.view then you also need to move related resources from myapp.resources to myapp.view.resources.
