How to add actionlistener to a JAR
Hi and thanks in advance to all people who contribute.
I want to package a gui component so that I can use it within Netbeans. I have managed to do this with the actionlisteners and anction performed methods within the JAR package.
How could I have an actionlistener detect the events occuring within the JAR package?
In order to use this code you will need to download and apply this to your class path:
http://download.java.net/javadesktop/swinglabs/releases/weekly/week-5-2007-01-30/swingx/swingx-2007_01_30-bin.zip
The download page is:
http://swinglabs.org/downloads.jsp
However, you shouldn't have to run the code to know what to do.
There are two seperate programs below. The first is a self contained program which can be executed independly of anyhting else.
The second is what I used to make the JAR, and currently contains the actionlisteners.
Thanks Bemo
