Netbeans UI builder switching from Java 6 to Java 5 or the other way around
31/01/09 16:47 Filed in: Java
The project I'm in are using Swing UI builder to do
our dialogs, but we are forced to use Java 5. This
means that we are using extra libraries as we use the
group layout manager. When creating a new dialog I
managed to get started using Java 6. After noticing
this I tried to go back to using Java 5, but the
generated files from netbeans insisted of using the
javax.swing libraries and not the compatibility
libraries. After searching the web I found no
solution, but I managed to find it on my own.
The generator mode is coded in the .form file that tags along the dialog - if you want to change mode after creation you must edit it in an editor outside of netbeans:
<AuxValue name="FormSettings_layoutCodeTarget" type="java.lang.Integer" value="2"/>
Value 1 means that it uses java 6 - value 2 means that it uses the libraries compatible with Java 5.
