Add component... |
Create a new palette entry representing a user-specified component. The entry
must have a name, class, and a description (visible as hover help in the palette).
If the widget defines its own icon in its bean info, that icon will be
used by default. The component may be initially visible or not and
may be added to any available category.

Import Jar... |
Create multiple new palette entries using widget classes from a JAR file
(selected from the classpath, workspace or from disk).
Optionally create a new category to add the entries to. The category
name defaults to the name of the JAR.
If no widgets appear when you select a jar file, this is usually an
indication that the jar file does not provide a proper JavaBean manifest
readable by Sun's JavaBean manifest reader. Please contact the jar
provider for a correction. As long as the jar is on your project path,
you should be able to add individual widgets to the palette manually by
using the Add Component... command. |

Palette manager... |
The Palette Manager dialog allows the toolkit-specific palette to be
fully configured. Categories, and entries may be added,
edited and removed and JAR files imported. Items may be rearranged using the Up and
Down buttons or via drag and drop. The Collapse All
and Expand All buttons show or hide all of the elements in
the list. |
