When might you have a version of your plugin that will work with the next generation of Netbeans?
The current plugin installs in 5.0 but the palette that allows controls to be dropped onto a form doesn't display. Editing the XML and switching to the designer view does seem to render the controls properly.
I expect that the effort to upgrade won't be terribly large.

We'll probably release an update within 2-3 weeks. We've already looked at some of the issues and as you guessed they should be minor. We'll certainly have something for the time of the release of NetBeans 5.0

Can you be a bit more specific, I just fixed a number of bugs in moving/sizing the components - with the mouse. But you are describing something different?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I believe the bug I noticed is one you are describing. When you use the mouse in the designer to manipulate an edit field, the values in the javabean properties table (and xml page) seem to change correctly. But, when you save and click around somewhere else, etc., then return back to the designer, the values (X,Y,W,H) in the properties table mode return back to original ones.
Maybe I am just not doing something right.
I appreciate your staying on top of this forum. I noticed you are very active in working on this project. I must congratulate you on a good product with great tech support.

Thanks for the comments, user feedback is really important to use - good or bad. Our aim is to make the hard things simple and to make most things fun. We know we have some way to go but by having users let us know how they are getting on then we can focus our attention where it's important.
We're trying to get more people to participate in the project on an on-going basis, contribute and perhaps even build add-ons. The new tips forum is one aspects to this and we also hope to add a gallery/repository where just about anyone can add a sample app or demo or just show case some feature they think cool.
Anecdotically we know there are many projects out there using XUI both in-house and on a commercial basis and we would like to see more visibility for these projects so that people can get a sense of what can be done with XUI.
With regard to the specific layout issues we can make a nightly build available some time during the week, or otherwise the full release should be out pretty soon.

I have noticed a couple of problems - the first of which existing in the Feb 15 06 version. When you create a widget and associate a data binding with it and then delete the widget, the data binding tag declaration does not delete from the xml file.
Also, when I upgraded to the lastest plugin, I seem to be unable to launch my existing XUI projects. Perhaps I have misconfigured something. I receive the following stack trace in the netbeans exception window:

Did you installed the updated XUI module in your NetBeans installation?
This is really a build issue as we either need to embed the XUI classes in the Kalideoscope module or force an update of the XUI module by changing the version number and module dependancies accordingly.
If that's not the issue I'll have to dig a bit more and see what is out of sync.

Been lost for a while, due to my job hectic schedule, but today I ask would like to ask permission to join your group again. I am interested to help develop the netbeans 5.0 plug-in (carousel).
This I would like to request:
1. First, I need to subscribe to netbeans XUI plug-in mailinglist like equivalent. (something like netbeans mailing list that directs to my email. mijzcx@yahoo.com | mijzcx@gmail.com) automatically.
2. I need to collaborate.
3. An automatic updates of the build results, if there is, from the CruiseControl or something through my (mijzcx@gmail.com).
4. Thats all for now...
Why I am interested?
Because I am disappointed with this XUI 2.0 for netbeans 5.0 plug-in. Though good (some of 4.1 issues been fixed) but, it does not work fine.
1. The source page java source generator aint generate code templates.
2. The panes, (XUI Inspector, XUI Palette, Styles, Properties) custom arrangement won't persist after closing the IDE then opening again.
3. When I open up again, I can't open anymore the Page.xml or some in the IDE.
4. The design board is fine, but I think needs enhancement.
I am tired doing XUI things in manual way. I want to help, I want to use my spare time to develop this plug-in. This is project is very promising, I know. This will change the way we do GUI developing than "Matisse" project (if they won't catch-up) or any non-declarative development counterparts. And I want to be part of this, to be part of this project development. I am proud of you XUI guys with your generous effort. I don't want just to look and wait. I need to join, I need to contribute something. I need to scratch some itch of mine.
My gratitude,

We've also had a pretty busy schedule here which has slowed plug-in development a little.
That about hits the nail on the head. I fixed the problem with opening of the source files (and will perhaps relase an update today) but the other issues remain.
The problem with persistence came about because of the lack of documentation when we started building the plug-in (back in the NetBeans 3.6 days). In contrast the Eclipse documentation is still ahead, but that's another story.
I never got around to giving you CVS access and in anycase we have an internal CVS respository for the code - SourceForge CVS seems to go down too often at vital times for our liking. So we just update CVS on sourceforge on ad hoc basis.
We would be delighted to have your contributions and even small contributions can make a big difference. In short we'll provide whatever support you need in this regard.

Luan,
One bug I noticed includes The Edit component. When using the gui builder to position and size the widget, the values do not stick.
I hope the plugin will soon be ready as I am anxious to start a new XUI project using Java 5 and for Netbeans 5.
Can you be a bit more specific, I just fixed a number of bugs in moving/sizing the components - with the mouse. But you are describing something different?

And I forgot to say, a bug thanks to everyone who has contributed thus far. Every little helps :-)
Luan,
If you could provide the latest build of the Kaleidescope plugin that would be great!

Luan,

I've logged a bug on your second issue (ID:1445862)
we will fix that pretty soon and make another nightly build available
There is another update on the website at http://xui.sourceforge.net/downloads/nightly/13032006/
I hope it fixes both of the issues you reported, but please have a look at the bug database and forum posting with respect to the specifics
The stack trace issue I noted appears to be resolved. Thanks.
However, the bug I reported below still exists.
[ 1447020 ] GUI editor becomes unavailable when another file is selected
Thanks,
can you describe the second issue a little more as there are quite a few update scenarios with frames and multiple pages.
i.e. which pages are used within which editor window
Thanks

When i try to run the project Xapplet class not found is showing up. but all jars are on the path.
vat may be the issue.

You say the 'Xapplet' class cannot be found. Are you seeing the 'a' in lower case? It should be upper.
