IDE Updates
Last updated 6/29/2007

This page discusses issues relating to recently tested versions of IDEs.

NetBeans 5.0 and 5.5

• Help is not available in the property sheet, but it can be accessed in the customizer.
• NetBeans does not automatically wrap the diagram in a JScrollPane.
• When a bad value is entered into a property editor, a stack trace is written to NetBeans' log file.
• After entering user code for a property value, the property editor shows either no value or an incorrect value.
• The toolkit is not able to load classes from the project.

JBuilder2007

• The toolkit's components cannot be put into the palette, but they can be selected easily using the Choose Bean dialog.
• JBuilder2007 does not put the property setter method calls inside a try/catch block, it must be added manually.

JBuilder2006

• Occasionally the property editors generate "argument type mismatch" errors or the customizer shows blank fields and gets NullPointerExceptions. If this happens, switch to the source view and back to the designer, and they should start working again.
