JideBuilder has been relocated to the Griffon project, please update your links to http://griffon.codehaus.org/JideBuilder. The information on this page may be outdated. |
Contribution Overview
JideBuilder will let you create Jide components and standard Swing components as SwingBuilder does, because it doesn't override the default names of previously registered components in SwingBuilder, this means that you can mix both types of components with the same builder.
| Code Block |
|---|
import griffon.builder.jide.JideBuilder
def jide = new JideBuilder()
jide.edt {
frame( id: 'frame', title: 'JideBuilder', pack: true, visible: true ){
panel( layout: new BorderLayout(5,5) ){
button( label: "Swing", constraints: BorderLayout.WEST )
jideButton( label: "Jide", constraints: BorderLayout.EAST )
textField( constraints: BorderLayout.NORTH )
calculator( constraints: BorderLayout.CENTER )
}
}

There are 5 *Searchable components that will add searching capabilities to a previously created widget or an internal one, exposing the searchable widget and the searchable wrapper if an 'id' attribute was provided, for example ComboBoxSearchable:
| Code Block |

import griffon.builder.jide.JideBuilder
def jide = new JideBuilder()
jide.edt {
frame( id: 'frame', title: 'JideBuilder', pack: true, visible: true ){
panel( layout: new BorderLayout(5,5) ){
comboBox( id: "mycombo", items: [1,2,3] )
comboBoxSearchable( id: "c1", comboBox: mycombo )
comboBoxSearchable( id: "c2", items: [4,5,6] )
}
}
assertNotNull jide.ci_searchable

JIDE Common Layer defines a basic structure for dialogs with StandardDialog, which is an abstract class, you may create your own dialogs based on that template by calling 'standardDialog()', by default all 3 panels will be empty, but yout can provide your own content by calling 'dialogBannerPanel()', 'dialogContentPanel()' and 'dialogButtonPanel()' inside its closure.
All JTextComponents (even those created with regular SwingBuilder methods) will accept a 'selectAll' property, which will call com.jidesoft.swing.SelectAllUtils.install() on the component.
SearchableBar has an additional property 'install' which will register a SearchableBar.Installer automatically into the inmediate container. This property must be a Map and may have the following properties:
- constraints: must be a valid Object accepted by the container's layout (required).
- keyStroke: must be a javax.swing.KeyStroke, defaults to CTRL + F (optional).

Source Control
http://svn.codehaus.org/griffon/builders/jidebuilder
Building
JideBuilder uses Ant as its build tool, which means that if you want to
build your own version of JideBuilder from source you'll need to have it
installed. Follow the instructions at http://ant.apache.org
