Mattise Palette:

Normal Function..
click the object in the box and put it onto the design screen.

Problem Function
From the custom tree: when I select a component and drag it to the screen it deselects and nothing happens…. (image does not go with the mouse and the custom control is no long blue in the palette)

Thoughts on the problem:

I noticed that this happened after the name of the custom control was refractored.

Something inside myeclipse is messing up…. When my team gets the latest code from the repository and the same custom control to their machine. The custom form will work as all the others. So the code is not broken. MyEclipse is store some reference to the old custom control.

Also the custom control was in the Matisse Palette at the time that the code was refractored. Obviously that one will not work…

But the thing is that when I delete and readded the component with the new name… the problem continues…. and I can not make it work….

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and have a great day.

lawnWorm,
I tried reproducing this issue but I think I might have misunderstood the issue since I was unable to reproduce it. Can you please list the steps to reproduce this problem.

Also, can you go to MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details and paste the information here for me.

Steps to recreate

1. added a custom widget to the mattise palette
2. use the widget/form (in the case that i used i added a form to the custom palette) on other form.
3. on the form that was added go to where you the form that was added to the custom palette… right click on it and select refractor and rename.
——–> now this is where i am not sure how the problem occured.
Note: the old name that was used for the form/widget is still in the custom part of the matisse palette. Also I am not sure if i tried to use the one in there already which may have cause the problem before i notice that it was the wrong name.

4. In order to update the name i removed the old on form the palette and readded the one with the proper name.

5. Now when I try to use the one with the proper name this is when the problem occurs.. I do not know if MyElispe i possible;y hanging on to some serialize id information that it uses to put it in the palette.
End Steps to recreate

I am not quite sure how it loses the connection between the .form file in the palette but it does bring anything but refactoring the code name while it is in the custom palette seems to be what causes it because we were able to do it to my co workers computer that is having the same problem and it is from a complete different screen then mine is.

I hope this help you recreate it… If there is anything else I can provide i will be more than appreciative to help.

Also not sure if this will help but the form type that i chose when i created the form was panel. not JInternalFrame

Just wanted to say thanks to MyEclipse for monitoring this thread and keeping me post on the issue. If you cant tell I am being sarcastic. This will be the last time that I ever use MyEclispe for any of my future development.

Thanks for nothing.

I was able to reproduce this issue with the help of another user and I have already filed this for the dev team. They are working on fixing this. Im sorry for the inconvenience caused.

[lawnWorm]

When can I expect a fix for this… this has been a complete pain… especially when it decides to delete code because it lost a reference and causes hours of lost development time!

[Loyal Water]

The management currently has this issue slated for a fix in the 7.1 release.
