How can I create a new UI Form for Client Plugin in Netbeans?

[jbravo94]

Dear Connect Community,

i want to create a custom Plugin since i need a custom FrameHandler for the TCP Server.

I can compile successfully the MLLPPlugin for testing and also install it but unfortunately i cannot make changes in the UI form in Netbeans.

Do i miss something when i get following errors:

I tried to add everything to the classpath:

I also tried to add a different component as bean (com.mirth.connect.client.ui.ByteAbbreviationList):

but only receive this error

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jdesktop/swingx/JXList

Do i need to add the swingx library manually from here https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/swinglabs/swingx/swingx-all/ ?

Although swingx-core-1.6.2.jar exist already in the client/lib directory.

Is there maybe a new approach also for FrameHandler Plugins because i saw that OpenJavaFX library should be used somewhere else?

Currently i have installed latest Netbeans 12.0 with AdoptOpenJDK 10 (was currently best fit for compilation for me).

I kindly ask for your help.

Sincerely,
Johannes

@kpalang Maybe you stumbled also across this problem since you are currently developing your own plugin in #4510 and maybe have some suggestions for me? :)

I haven't seen your source code but my first suspicion is that you haven't added Mirth jars to your project. You can take a look at a maven repo I'm hosting at https://nexus.kaurpalang.com/. The plugin you mentioned uses that repository.

Cool thanks!
I will have a look at it.
