Release candidate for Flamingo 4.2

October 26th, 2009 | 13 Comments »

I am pleased today to announce the availability of release candidate for version 4.2 of Flamingo component suite (code-named Hiolair). It is a stabilization release that adds a few minor features and fixes all known bugs.

Here is the list of minor features added in release 4.2:

Support for placing small command buttons in ribbon galleries
Option to specify the callback for populating the default content of ribbon application menu
Command buttons support no icon / no text mode
Emitting full bounding box coordinates in SVG transcoder
Support for changing the expand listener of ribbon bands
Better tracing of inconsistent ribbon resize policies

If you want to test the ribbon in your applications, you would need the following (the last two only for applications running under Substance look-and-feel):

The latest 4.2RC drop of Flamingo (code-named Hiolair)
The latest 6.0dev drop of Substance (code-named Sonoma)
The latest 6.0dev drop of Substance Flamingo plugin

You are more than welcome to take Flamingo 4.2RC for a ride and report any problems in the project mailing lists, forums or issue tracker. The final release is scheduled for November 2. Only bugs will be fixed until that date.

To see Flamingo ribbon in action, run the following WebStart demo:

The demo above works for the core look-and-feels. To see the ribbon under Substance, run the following WebStart demo:

Here are a few screenshots showing the new features in 4.2RC:

Matt,

Thanks for reporting this. Can you post the first one to the project forums / mailing list, along with the full information on your OS? The second one just needs trident.jar added to the JNLP (new dependency in Substance 6.0dev) – i should’ve checked this before posting.

Thanks
Kirill

!! Thanks for the Ribbon Component, great work Kirill

In 4.2 the “Inconsistent preferred widths” exception can reproduced.

xception in thread “AWT-EventQueue-0″ java.lang.IllegalStateException: Inconsistent preferred widths
Ribbon band ‘Wizard has the following resize policies
org.jvnet.flamingo.ribbon.resize.CoreRibbonResizePolicies$Mirror with preferred width 54
org.jvnet.flamingo.ribbon.resize.CoreRibbonResizePolicies$Mid2Low with preferred width 54
org.jvnet.flamingo.ribbon.resize.IconRibbonBandResizePolicy with preferred width 61
org.jvnet.flamingo.ribbon.resize.CoreRibbonResizePolicies$Mid2Low with pref width 54 is followed by resize policy org.jvnet.flamingo.ribbon.resize.IconRibbonBandResizePolicy with larger pref width

- Create a RibbonBand with 1 CommandButton
- If RibbonBand name is longer than commandButton name > exception

THIS DONT WORK
ribbonBandWizard = new JRibbonBand(“Wizard”, new EmptyResizableIcon(16));
List resizePolicies = new ArrayList();
resizePolicies.add(new CoreRibbonResizePolicies.Mirror(ribbonBandWizard.getControlPanel()));
resizePolicies.add(new CoreRibbonResizePolicies.Mid2Low(ribbonBandWizard.getControlPanel()));
resizePolicies.add(new IconRibbonBandResizePolicy(ribbonBandWizard.getControlPanel()));
ribbonBandWizard.setResizePolicies(resizePolicies);
ribbonBandWizard.startGroup();
buttonStartWizard = new JCommandButton(“Start”, new EmptyResizableIcon(16));
buttonStartWizard.setActionKeyTip(“SW”);
buttonStartWizard.addActionListener(getRibbonActionListener());
ribbonBandWizard.addCommandButton(buttonStartWizard, RibbonElementPriority.TOP);

THIS WORK
ribbonBandWizard = new JRibbonBand(“Wizard”, new EmptyResizableIcon(16));
List resizePolicies = new ArrayList();
resizePolicies.add(new CoreRibbonResizePolicies.Mirror(ribbonBandWizard.getControlPanel()));
resizePolicies.add(new CoreRibbonResizePolicies.Mid2Low(ribbonBandWizard.getControlPanel()));

buttonStartWizard.setActionKeyTip(“SW”);
buttonStartWizard.addActionListener(getRibbonActionListener());
ribbonBandWizard.addCommandButton(buttonStartWizard, RibbonElementPriority.TOP);

tested under Windows7 ans Vista
