grey window with jide 2.1

[nicola.gioia]

I have created an application using jide, and developed it using various version of jide product.
Now I have tried to pass from the 1.9.4 version to the 2.1 just released.
But starting the application I see only a grey window.
I have delete all the old layout reference, to remove all the dockableFrame to try to locate the cause of the problem.. but the problem is still present.
There is some big change from the 1.9.4 to the 2.1 version on the manageing of the dockable context or in some similiar component that can cause this problem?

thanks!

That's strange. I am not aware of this. Do you have a test case to reproduce it?

Thanks,

Sorry for the wrong signal... but I have tried to found the problem for 5 hours and I found the solution only now.
I have found a code to reproduce the problem... founding the workaround to solve my problem.
If in the code on the DefaultDockableBarDockableHolder i do a setLayout(new BorderLayout()) before to load the layout the window become gray. If i don't set the layout the problem is not present.
I have removed the setLayout from the code because it have no sense. It was in a previous method no more needed.
The code to reproduce the problem is:

Code: Select all

It is not surprise as setLayout will erase all components on the content pane. That's why you see a gray empty panel.

Thanks,
