how to run/debug in eclipse

[howud...@gmail.com]

In the past with eclipse I launch either the Simulator_???.launch, or send to the server and then install / debug on and android device.  In the GUI builder walkthrough, (https://www.codenameone.com/blog/gui-builder-walkthru.html) it states that simply running the app (shown using netbeans) will generate the code for the GUI Builder form and then runs what appears to be a simulator.  How can I do this in eclipse?  Project->run as shows java applet and java application and neither will build the form and launch the sim.  Launching the Simulator_???.launch doesn't build the GUI Builder code.

As far as I know it should also build the code but Chen can probably answer that better than I can.
In IntelliJ we automatically update the code the moment you save from the new GUI builder.

Select your project in the Projectexplorer, then on the upper bar where the Green Button for run is, you should have a {PROJECTNAME}_simulator configuration, otherwise just look for the Simulator_{PROJECTNAME}.launch, right click it, Run As -> Simulator_{PROJECTNAME}

that launches (as does Simulator_{PROJECTNAME}.launch) however that doesn't build the GUI Builder code.

By GUIBilder Code you dont mean the ant script running and building the projectcode at least, before it launches the Simulator?

[Peter Carlson]

not sure. GUI Builder creates an xml file.  That xml file is converted to java code as explained in the GUI builder walkthrough, (https://www.codenameone.com/blog/gui-builder-walkthru.html

) where it states that simply running the app (shown using a different IDE, intellij I think, or netbeans) will generate the code.  I assume this is being done as part of the ant script, but I have no clue.  All I know is that there is no GUI builder xml->java when I launch.

[Kaya TC]

Are you using the old GUI BUILDER or the old one? as the new one may differ. I didnt even know that they even released the new GUI Builder until i saw a post on Stackoverflow two hours ago.

[howud...@gmail.com]

new one.

Seems like an issue we have in the eclipse plugin, you can invoke the "genGuiSrc" ant task and it will generate the gui src

[Peter Carlson]

where do I find that task?

[Chen Fishbein]

It should be on your build.xml file

[Peter Carlson]

in my build.xml:
<taskdef name="generateGuiSources"
classname="com.codename1.build.client.GenerateGuiSources"
classpath="CodeNameOneBuildClient.jar"/>

<target name="genGuiSrc">
<generateGuiSources srcDir="src" encoding="UTF-8"
guiDir="res/guibuilder" />
</target>

running it manually still didn't create the code.

BTW, running the ant task with verbose produces:

Not a big expert on Eclipse but try defining the task as dependent on init.
