Description dmiller 2007-06-04 16:49:46 UTC 
Currently setting the font for a component generates code like this:

    Label1.setFont(new java.awt.Font("SansSerif", 0, 12));
    Label2.setFont(new java.awt.Font("SansSerif", 1, 12));
    Label3.setFont(new java.awt.Font("SansSerif", 2, 12));
    Label4.setFont(new java.awt.Font("SansSerif", 3, 12));

The second argument is the style (plain, bold, italic, bold italic) for which
there are constants in Font. To be correct about it, the generated code should
use the constants, not their numeric values.

    Label1.setFont(new java.awt.Font("SansSerif", java.awt.Font.PLAIN, 12));
    Label2.setFont(new java.awt.Font("SansSerif", java.awt.Font.BOLD, 12));
    Label3.setFont(new java.awt.Font("SansSerif", java.awt.Font.ITALIC, 12));
    Label4.setFont(new java.awt.Font("SansSerif",
java.awt.Font.BOLD|java.awt.Font.ITALIC, 12));

I agree, would make the code more readable.

FontEditor lies outside GUI builder. Reassigning to its owner - core/property editors.
