Hi, JGB is a library - as such, it does not have a GUI. If you want to use it, you have to write an XML file which contains the definition of your GUI. See http://jgb.sourceforge.net/documentation/tutorials/simplewindow/index.php for a tutorial on how to do that. Hope that helps !

When I try to start JGB from the command line in Linux (Debian): java -jar jgb.jar, it just gives me an error (I have Java installed): Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from jgb.jar I think this is because there is no Main Class defined in the manifest, or whats wrong then? Btw. I'm using the newest release: 0.6.5-alpha |

Hi, Would JGB work on mobile devices with J2ME (any version, any profile)? If not, do you have any other suggestion for generating GUIs from XML on mobile devives? We've been thining about some svg viewer that it would probably appear to heavy/slow... Thanks! Best regards, Tomasz |

See the register element description: http://jgb.sourceforge.net/documentation/elements/register/index.php This allows you to register an EventListener to any control. You could then create menu items that call your event handler, and the handler would respond by creating new JInternalFrames. Also see the Browser tutorial page: http://jgb.sourceforge.net/documentation/tutorials/webbrowser/index.php Bye ! François |

Dear Francois, Thank you very much for your help. Adding a <control id="contentPane" class="javax.swing.JDesktopPane"> turns the window to an MDI. However adding InternalFrames within this content pane is a little problem If I add the InternalFrame GUI description (e.g. <control id="myInternalFrame" class="javax.swing.JInternalFrame">.etc) in the same xml document, then obviously only one internal frame is added when the MDI application starts. Do you have any idea how we could add internalFrames dynamically (as respond to an event)? One solution could be to describe the internalFrame GUI in a separate xml document, but how we could then use this xml through JGB? Do you have any clue? Have a nice day, Aggelos Georgoulas |

I don't remember, but I believe there is an EntityResolver which attempts to find the DTD in the classpath, before attempting the socket communication.

I need to make a bunch of applets with a lot of very simple interfaces. I was thinking about making an XML->Java tool to simplify this effort, then realized that JGB already does it. Has anyone tried to use JGB within an applet? Should it work, or not? Is there anything I need to look our for? For instance, one problem I've run into already is that SAX tries to open its own socket to look up the DTD URL, which of course isn't allowed within an applet. |

Hi all!
I get a NullPointerException in the method getContextAccumulator (class
jgb.handlers.swing.MethodCallTagHandler). The statement
MethodCall methodCall =
(MethodCall)tagContext.get(TagHandler.CURRENT_PARM_ACC_KEY);
returns null and causes the NullPointerException a few lines later. I'm a
JGB newbie, so maybe I am doing something very obvious wrong. I am trying to
dynamically populate a JComboBox when building it up, using the JComboBox
method setModel(ComboBoxModel aModel) setter. I have a method getBookComboBoxModel
in a class info.rueth.bp.DataSetter, which returns a ComboBoxModel object
(containing the elements I want to display in my JComboBox).
This is a snippet from my xml file:
...
<!-- Construct a DataSetter class -->
<object id="dataSetter" class="info.rueth.bp.gui.DataSetter">
<constructor/>
</object>
...
<control>
...
<combo id="bookChooser" reflabel="bookChooserLabel">
<property name="model">
<return>
<methodCall refid="dataSetter"
method="getBookComboBoxModel"/>
</return>
</property>
</combo>
...
</control>
...
Any hint is appreciated!
Thanks and regards
Ulrich

Hi, I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but I don't know how to search the SF mailing list archives. I am interested in making a GUI Java program using JGB. I tried the simple window tutorial (bin\runexample.bat --show mywindow.xml), but after the initial (intentional) errors were displayed/fixed, no window was displayed. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks! |

One thing you can try is to run $ ant junit.install clover.install This will install the Clover and JUnit related JARs into $ANT_HOME/lib.=20 Then, try building again, and things should be fine.

Hi, os=gentoo-linux jdk=blackdown-jdk-1.4.1 junit=version 3.8.1 When trying to build jgb ant allows starts with the following error: "[taskdef] Could not load definitions from resource clovertasks. It could not be found." I've tried all build options and all give me the same error. Running ant without options gives me the following: "Buildfile: build.xml [taskdef] Could not load definitions from resource clovertasks. It could not be found. init: preprocess: make.dtd: compile: test: BUILD FAILED file:/home/michiel/java_gui_builder/build.xml:89: Could not create task or type of type: junit. Ant could not find the task or a class this task relies upon. This is common and has a number of causes; the usual solutions are to read the manual pages then download and install needed JAR files, or fix the build file: - You have misspelt 'junit'. Fix: check your spelling. - The task needs an external JAR file to execute and this is not found at the right place in the classpath. Fix: check the documentation for dependencies. Fix: declare the task. - The task is an Ant optional task and optional.jar is absent Fix: look for optional.jar in ANT_HOME/lib, download if needed - The task was not built into optional.jar as dependent libraries were not found at build time. Fix: look in the JAR to verify, then rebuild with the needed libraries, or download a release version from apache.org - The build file was written for a later version of Ant Fix: upgrade to at least the latest release version of Ant - The task is not an Ant core or optional task and needs to be declared using <taskdef>. Remember that for JAR files to be visible to Ant tasks implemented in ANT_HOME/lib, the files must be in the same directory or on the classpath Please neither file bug reports on this problem, nor email the Ant mailing lists, until all of these causes have been explored, as this is not an Ant bug.

Hello colleagues , i have some experience in java backend development but now i have to design a Java GUI. For me the main focus will be to design it (UML etc.), not to implement it. I am a little bit confused about the Thread and SwingWorker Issues. Perhaps someone of you can give me advice in how to start with this (e.g. a good book, website). I have heard about the 2 different APIs (Swing and IBM). I there a good book describing the differences ? Does anyone knows a good resources for design examples ? Thanks a lot in advance, best regards, Florian Brunswicker |

Having built a similar utility in the past I have some comments about = this tool. In general the XML is very long winded : I prefer using attributes = rather than nested elements because for any form type GUI with a = reasonable number of fields the definition could get very, very long. The concept of a GUI builder can be taken much further. I implemented: - binding of controls to actions - formatting and parsing using logical formats - logical colour definitions - I18N support - population of combo-box lists - support for sorting tables - support for dividing GUI into separate files per business model = component To do this the build process consists of: - create business model component - register business model actions with builder - register business model and table models with builder - build GUI - post-build associate non-generic event-handlers with controls = (referenced by control id) A configuration file is used to define which tags, formats, layouts, etc = are recognized by the builder, so it is possible to add in one's own = controls and layout managers, etc. The configuration file also defines = logical formats and colours, and also combo box lookup lists (which = again can be configured to be supplied by a custom class). (Lookup = lists are associated with a combo box control via a 'lookup' attribute = on the 'combo' element). A logical format could be 'percentage' (number format with style =3D = 'percent'), 'price' (defined as pattern for decimal formatter), = 'shortdate' (date format with style =3D'short'). Binding classes are = provided by the tool to interface between a GUI control and a model's = property (for text fields performing parsing and formatting as required = by the logical format set using a 'format' attribute). Errors are = highlighted in the field using the 'error' logical colour. The point about all of this is to enable business developers to = concentrate on providing non-swing business models, not learning swing. = Things like setting default buttons on dialogs, binding buttons to model = actions, parsing and formatting values for display in a text field are = all things that such a GUI builder can do which add value over coding = swing directly. It is also much easier to change a format or colour = defined in a single configuration file! > Richard Appleton > London > Tel: 44 20 7986 4899 >=20 |

Got a point there ! There is no way to do any calculations in the XML file, so you would need to instantiate an object to do the work for you. Maybe you could attach a WindowListener to the frame and let it position the window on the right event ? Besides, the same event listener can be used to save and restore the window position...

Ooops ! I need to update the examples quickly ! The Builder class is
now an interface. So, you need to instantiate a DefaultBuilder... Sorry
for the confusion...
So, your lines should be updated like this:
import jgb.builder.Builder;
import jgb.builder.DefaultBuilder;
class C {
private Builder simplewin_gui =3D new DefaultBuilder();
}

omg! I'm so careless to forget about that. Sorry...
But now, I still have a problem. Using the java code in the simple window
tutorial in the website, I got the following error:
simplewin.java:6: jgb.builder.Builder is abstract; cannot be instantiated
private jgb.builder.Builder simplewin_gui = new jgb.builder.Builder();
This is the line I use to compile:
javac -classpath jgb.jar:lib/jaxp.jar:. simplewin.java
Forgive me if I'm wrong, since I'm a java newbie...

Hello again, Stelar, Did you use the same command line ? Actually, did you pass the --show argument to the BuildWindowFromXmlFile class ? Notice the example command line: C:\jgb>bin\runexample.bat --show mywindow.xml The --show parameter asks the BuildWindowFromXmlFile to show the window on screen. It actually calls setVisible() on the value that will be returned from Builder. Hope that helps !

Hi ! This is normal. When did you ask the window to be shown ? :) You need one of the following: * set the visible property to true * retrieve the window reference from Builder and call setVisible(true) Builder will not show anything by itself. It's responsibility is to build windows, nothing else. This makes it possible to use Builder to build a multitude of windows, and have none of them show up on screen.=20 Then, later, the windows can be shown as appropriate, by the event dispatchers.
