Hi Todd,
should I add the text for "Component Explorer" also in the web_start.jsp page ?
And last, all is working right with the current (unsigned version), or
should I link the signed ?

Tell me.
I'll do the stuff tomorrow.

Byeeee

Ok, but with Unsigned jars, under Web Start I don't remember it this
is possible ...

Great, having good defaults are always useful.

Thanks,

That all depends on the size of the window, and while the JNLP files may
specify a size, the applet won't, and users launching from the desktop
won't.

Keep in mind that DesktopApplicationContext remembers the value of your
window's size and location when you close it and keeps it for the next time
you launch it -- but only when you don't hard code the size and location in
startup properties.  I think most of the time, it's bad practice to hard
code size and location of your app for this reason.  In the case of our demo
JNLP files, however, I think it's fine, because the users of the demos are
likely to have never run the app before and may never run it again, so
providing them with a good default makes sense.  However, I don't think we
should cater the L&F of any app to a particular window size, since in
general, that size can and will change.

That being said, I can certainly lower the split ratio of the content area /
property inspector splitter in the component explorer, since it was
arbitrary to begin with :)

Hi, now in the jnlp I set a 1000x700 dimension, so also at 1024x768
all is visible ...

But if you have time, I'd make another little adjustment (but this
time in wtkx files), reducing the upper area (at the center) by
approx. 100 pixel, so the Properties area will be visible by default
without horizontal scrollbar.
And add approx 80 pixel the the bottom Events area, so it will be
visible by default without horizontal scrollbar.

What do you think ?

Sandro

Sounds good.

Hi, just commit.

Only one thing, to have more space inside the application (to avoid
users having to resize the window), what do you think if I force an
higher dimension in component_explorer.jnlp for it, like 1024x768 ?

Tell me.

Bye

Yeah, you can add it to the web start index, and it should work unsigned.
