Make JBuilder dizzy (1)

JBuilder is a powerful JAVA development tool launched by Borland. However, it only has three interface styles: Windows, Metal, CDE, and Motif,

For a long time, they all have eye-catching eyes on the author's personal point of view). In the face of the beautiful WinXP platform and the beautiful Delphi7 development environment, do JAVA programmers living in JBuilder have only eye-catching eyes?

Today, let's say "NO!" together !"

I. Preparations:

First go to http://www.incors.com/lookandfeel/try.php3to download alloy Look & Feel. Do not enter the correct username and email ^_^.) Click "Submit Infomation"

Check your mailbox one minute later and you will receive a letter from the eval@incors.com.

The attachment contains an alloylnf-1_2_1.zip 328 K) and stores it;

At the same time, note that there is such a line in the Chinese text of the letter: Your license code for the evaluation period is:

2002/12/06 # wes109cn@yahoo.com.cn #1f3beu5 #180fl0 this license code is very important!

II. Create the required jar File

Decompress alloylnf-1_2_1.zipto a directory containing a docfolder, A alloy.jarfile, and a readme.txt file,

What we need is alloy. jar.

Create a alloy. properties file in the directory where alloy. jar is located. The editing content is:

Alloy. licenseCode = [license Code]

Here is

Alloy. licenseCode = 2002/12/06 # wes109cn@yahoo.com.cn #1f3beu5 #180fl0

Run the following command:

Jar-uvf alloy. jar alloy. properties

Add alloy. properties to alloy. jar. You can also use WinZip and WinRAR to add them directly)
 

3. Configure JBuilder

Disable JBuilder first.

Replace the updated alloy. jar is copied to the % JBuilder_Home %/lib/ext directory (not absolute, as long as it can be found at jbuilder startup). Mine is D:/JBuilder7/lib/ext.

Open the configuration file C:/Documents ents and Settings/wes/. jbuilder7/user_zh.properties (wes is the user name) and find row 8th.

Modify it to browser; look_and_feel = com. incors. plaf. alloy. AlloyLookAndFeel and save it.

4. Start JBuiler

Now you Can start JBuilder. If you encounter Can't find LicenseCode during startup, check if alloy. jar is updated in step 2,

Is it correct.

Note:

1. Alloy Look & Feel is a 30-day trial version. There are many Open Source Look & Feel available on the Internet.

2. If you switch to another Look & Feel in JBuiler Tools/IDE Options, disable JBuiler and modify user_zh.properties again.

3. http://www.incors.com/alloyinf/jws/alloydemo.jnlpis an interface style (open with Java Web Start ).
