Rendered GUI

The Rendered GUI View should be used when triggering validations from within the Java or Plug-in Development Perspectives. This view will, once a validation process has commenced, contain the rendered GUI and provide control over the validation process.

The Rendered GUI View looks like this after performing a validation on a Java class file.:

Controls

The main portion of this view renders the GUI defined by the selected Java class file. The behavior of the view depends on how the validation was invoked.

For information on how to initiate a validation from the Package Explorer, see Intra-JVM (Internal) Validation.

Note: Depending upon the size and layout of your GUI, you may need to maximize this view to see the entire GUI.

Toolbar

Actions available in this view include:
