Can Designer edit windows created with JBuilder, VA Java, NetBeans, VisualCafe, etc.?
Yes. Most GUI builders in the world will only read and write the code that they themselves create. Designer is an exception to that rule. It can read and edit not only the code it creates, but also a great deal of code generated by other GUI builders (>95%). We have had very good success with code generated by JBuilder, NetBeans, Visual Cafe, VA Java, the Eclipse VE, etc. If you come across a case that does not work, send it to us for analysis. The more broken examples that we can “fix”, the better Designer will get in the long run (and the better chance you will have of salvaging your old code as-is). Note that Designer will edit any existing code in place without changing its formatting. Any new widgets will be created using Designer’s own code generation preferences.
