Dillan:

Those classes are 100% Pure Java, so I have no clue as to why V Cafe
or VA doesn't like them.  It sounds like, however, that they compile
and run fine but that the custom editors in those products don't know
what to do with them.  No idea there.

If you have JB Pro or higher, look at the source.  No funny stuff to
be found in there.

So, I would start by asking either of those products' support teams if
there's something special you have to do to implement your own layout
manager and have their tools recognize it.

If you see something that looks like an opinion up there,
it's mine and mine alone.

Mail sent to me from the newsgroups won't bounce but will
be ignored.  If I have time, I'll respond, but you  have
a better chance if you confine your posts to the newsgroups
