Defining Panel for an Element

Each element in the configuration file is associated to a panel for editing the attributes for that element. The mapping of the element to panel is done in the element_panels.properties file that can be found in the resources sub-directory. The key is the name of the element and the value is the fully qualified name of the panel.

Properties Example

accurev=net.sourceforge.cruisecontrol.gui.panels.AccurevPanel

Element panels are in the net.sourceforge.cruisecontrol.ui.panels package.The easiest way to create a panel is to subclass net.sourceforge.cruisecontrol.gui.panels.common.BaseElementPanel. Then override the addComponents() method, add a field using the addFieldFor() method for each attribute of the element.

Panel Example

package net.sourceforge.cruisecontrol.gui.panels;

import net.sourceforge.cruisecontrol.gui.panels.common.BaseElementPanel;

/**
 * @author alwick
 */
public class AccurevPanel extends BaseElementPanel implements EditorPanel {

	public void addComponents() {
		super.addComponents();
		
		addFieldFor( "stream", "Accurev Stream", TEXT_FIELD_TYPE );
		addFieldFor( "verbose", "Verbose", CHECKBOX_FIELD_TYPE );
	}
		
	public String getTitle() {
		
		return "Accurev Element";
	}
}

Compound Panels

Compound panels are used for elements that have sub-elements. These panels may also include other element panels as well as list of sub-elements.
