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-framework89/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.
