Hi, I'm finding the J2ME plugin of Netbeans superior to all other J2ME development environments and with the new Visual MIDlet support, NB is even extending the gap. But I would like to see the functionality to 'upgrade' a MIDlet to a visual MIDlet. Iwan
Iwan, do you mean that you write a midlet by hand and then upgrade to visual midlet=the midlet will be parsed and all components etc. will appear in visual designer?
I assume either a possibility to import an existing MIDlet into mvd or full two-way editing (i.e. without guarded blocks). All possibilities are being evaluated.
Ideally I would like the 'upgrade' see all my components and create the corresponding components so I can edit it visually from then on. Two-way-editing if you will. But for starters I wouldn't mind if only an empty .MVD file would be created. Now I need to create a new visual MIDlet, copy-past all code from the old on to the visual MIDlet, rename etc etc. Cumbersome in one word. But if you can get the two-way-editing working. That would be excellent. Iwan
moving to mobility component
Designer 1 has been removed. Therefore reassigning to Designer 2 module. Anyway it is hard to implement such conversion since the Designer would have to inspect the source code. This is similar to 2-way editing has been postponed to the future.
