Description Peter Nabbefeld 2015-11-30 14:37:10 UTC 
When creating an options dialog, I get "java.lang.Exception: got no controller from MyPanel: null".

When looking into the code, "controller" is fetched from attrs, thus should be defined in "generated-layer.xml", but it isn't.
Comment 1 Peter Nabbefeld 2015-12-01 06:45:15 UTC 
Oops, sorry - entry is present in generated-layer.xml (just overlooked it because sometimes "name" is the first attribute, else it is the last one). Nevertheless, the "controller" attribute seems to be missed for some cause, probably there's a problem with the generated folder structure?
