Question

I am new to using Look and Feels in Java. I was trying to add Seaglass look and feel into a java application I was working on but I can't seem to figure out how to use it. I found other people using it and also having problems, although they say there's was fixed.

Here is my Java Code (I'm using Netbeans 8.1 Beta):

package pamsorganizer;

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.UIManager;

public class MainProgram extends JFrame {

/**
 * Creates the Main Form for the General Program
 */

public MainProgram() {
    initComponents();
}

/**
 * This method is called from within the constructor to initialize the form.
 * WARNING: Do NOT modify this code. The content of this method is always
 * regenerated by the Form Editor.

and I have the seaglasslookandfeel-0.2.jar in my source package.

e.g.

Source Packages
 -pamsorganizer
    -MainProgram.java
    -seaglasslookandfeel-0.2.jar

So my question is, is it possible for someone to assist me in getting seaglass to work in my java application. My errors are bellow:

Was it helpful?

Solution

Add it to your libraries

Just right click on your Libraries folder in your project explorer, and Add Jar/Folder

It should work, I just tested it. Really no need to test though, it works for me every time.

OTHER TIPS

Even after adding jarfile to ur project, you have to import class

import com.seaglasslookandfeel.*;

I did and it worked for me....
