Getting started with WidgetFX

[Ken Orr]

I'm trying to create a simple widget. When I run the widget from
NetBeans as a WebStart app, I end up seeing a dialog to "Add Widget",
which looks like a stock WidgetFX dialog.

Why don't I see my widget? How do I build and run my simple widget
from within NetBeans?

Thanks,
-Ken

Ken,

Thanks for reporting this!

I looked into this and it turns out to be a bug we accidentally
introduced in the 1.1 release.

I have checked in a bugfix, but for now the workaround is to set the
launchHref variable to the name of your jnlp file like this:
Clock extends Widget {
launchHref: "Clock.jnlp"
}

Keith: Can you roll a patch for this fix? The fix is in:
widgetfx\api\src\org\widgetfx\Widget.fx. Technically we only require an
SDK push, but we might as well update the web start version too.

Cheers,
--Steve

I finally got a chance to push out the 1.1.1 update, so you can grab
the new sdk now.
