javax.swing.GroupLayout changed to org.jdesktop.layout.GroupLayout by form designer

[Fernando Calderón <fc...@gmail.com>]

Hi


I have a file template for a java class that extends JPanel. I have 
copied the JPanel template and changed "extends JPanel" to "extends 
MyClass" (MyClass extends JPanel).


When I create a new MyClass file (using the template) everything is 
fine. The problem arises when I drag a component to my MyClass object.


When I do that the library "javax.swing" is not used anymore.

Instead,the code generator uses the old library "org.jdesktop".


For example:

javax.swing.GroupLayout layout = new javax.swing.GroupLayout(this);

is changed to:

  org.jdesktop.layout.GroupLayout layout = new 
org.jdesktop.layout.GroupLayout(this);


Is there a known bug about this? Seems to be the code generator messing 
things up.


Be aware that this does not happen with JPanel form template (or JFrame, 
JDialog for that matter), just with MyClass template.

The MyClass template, as I said before, is an exact copy of the JPanel 
template except from that it extends MyClass instead of JPanel. The 
corresponding form file is exactly the same as JPanel's.

Thanks Tim,

I was having this issue in another project which had a reference to the 
project with the class extending JPanel as a dependency. Erasing and 
re-adding the dependency seemed to work and I don't have the issue 
anymore (for now).

Anyways, if I came across the issue again I'll try what you said.

Regards.
