Current Limitations - Java Gui Builder

The following items are limitations of the Java Gui Builder in the current version:

• No forward referencing
  This example will not work in the current version:
  

      ...
      <control class="JLabel">
          <property name="labelFor">
              <ref refid="textField" />
          </property>
      </control>
      <control id="textField" class="JTextField" />
      ...

  Currently, the XML source reads more like a script. Everything is done as soon as it is encountered. Even changing the order of declaration will not work, because then the text field will appear before it's label in the layout's order.

  Breaking news !

  I have found a way to partially circumvent this limitation. The example above would not work, but a reflabel attribute was added to control, label, button, panel and textfield elements so that you can specify the label of the current control easily. Forward referencing still does not work, but this particular problem is solved !
