It’s easy to add a new javabean to Palette in Netbeans. But I can’t add a new bean to Matisse Palette in MyEclipse.
How can I add beans to MyMatisse?

This functionality hasn’t been exposed yet for technical resaons, we are working on resolving them soon, no ETA yet.

Any updates on this? It should would be nice to be able to add my custom beans to the paletter. I have one that is itching to go.

Sorry for the delay, no updates just yet. The M4M team continues to work on Milestone 2 and I’ve made it abundently clear that this feature is *necessary*. They are good guys, they’ll get it in soon.

I am writing an applet and started out using MyEclipse/Matisse and found it to be useless without this feature. Adding beans to the form by hand defeats the purpose I think. Please keep us posted on an ETA.

I would like to write my own plugin to extend the Matisse Palette with my own javabeans. I understand that you are currently working on doing this via the GUI, but any plans on exposing this functionality via the plugin.xml file?

I’m able to add javabeans to VE (Visual Editor) with:

<extension point="org.eclipse.ve.java.core.contributors">
  <palette  container="MY_CONTAINER"
    categories="palette/xttvisualbeanscats.xmi" loc="last">
  </palette>
</extension>

and the xttvisualbeanscats.xmi file that defines the javabeans. I’m really looking to run away from VE as fast as I can 🙂 But will you be able to provide some similar extenation APIs?

Thanks

Tek

Hello,

is it planned to support custom javabeans in Matisse for the final version of MyEclipse 5.0 ?

Boomer!, i’ve decided to go with MyEclipse, did not consider Matisse as a primary feature, but when start using it, could not add my own components to palette (which is easily done in Netbeans 5). So I have to change manually the class. Anyway, since you guys has done a terrific job on the other features, I know that you’ll come out with a proper approach to this matter. Only hope that it would be soon.

Guys I just got a reply back from management that there was a major technical hurdle that caused this functionality not to be included in the Milestone 2 release but it seems we might have overcome that hurdle with a very robust solution. They are going to *try* to get this in GA, but still unsure at this point if when they get down to the coding if it will be a problem or all come together. I’ll try and keep you posted.

I’m skeptical as to how useful Matisse would be without the ability to place user-defined beans on the palette. I was forced to use NetBeans instead.

[Riyad Kalla]

This will make it into the GA release.

Fabio,
Click on the down arrow in the top right corner of the palette, select “Manage Palette” then add Widget is probably what you want.

To add a bean to the Matisse palette select the action in the palette view’s pulldown menu. A popup will appear where you can add beans or forms.
