The main classes of the JViews
Framework fully comply with the JavaBeans™
standard. This allows you to create a Rogue Wave® JViews
application from the visual programming environment of your
favorite Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
To be able to use the JViews
Framework beans, you must first install the beans into your IDE.
The beans are located in
<installdir> /jviews-framework810/lib/jviews-framework-all.jar.
To install JViews
Framework JavaBeans refer to your IDE documentation. In most
cases, the IDE simply allows you to import a
.jar
file and finds the JavaBeans located in this
.jar
file automatically.
Other beans are available for the Rogue Wave JViews Diagrammer, Rogue
Wave JViews Maps, Rogue Wave JViews Gantt and Rogue Wave JViews Charts products.
These beans are not covered in this document. To learn more about
them, read the section about JavaBeans in the documentation of your
Rogue Wave JViews product.
In most IDEs, when you import JAR files, you must make sure that
all classes referred to by those beans are also imported. For
example, this may mean referring to JViews Framework JARs when
you import Rogue Wave JViews Maps beans.
Note
Some IDEs may refuse to import Rogue Wave
JViews beans because they are running earlier JDK versions than
the one JViews requires. In this case, you may need a newer
version of your IDE.
