First, so we can agree on things:  Is this live preview a 'feature' or is it 
part of the 'core system'.  If it is a 'feature' I'd expect that I can turn 
it off somehow.  If it's part of the new core system, I'll have to look for 
another environment that isn't causing me the trouble (read that backing up 
to JBuilder X).

I really don't think I'd want to wrap any of my application code in 
something who's sole purpose is to solve a 'design time' issue(s).  I'd 
rather take care of it at the designer level than making my code responsible 
for determining the environment it is in.  The one thing that I know is that 
this problem doesn't happen in JBuilder X (worst thing that I've had there 
is the 'red box' saying compenent can't be rendered...no big deal) and it is 
happening in JBuilder 2005 (more than just a third party control now).

I have found a work around for the cell rendering code.  I decided to 
declare a new cellrenderer and make all my changes to it before assigned it 
to the JList.  Basically I moved everything above the line of code that sets 
the cell renderer for the jlist.  That allows me to design things w/o any 
problems and to this point hasn't caused the issue to arrise again.  But I'd 
still like to know if it's a feature that I can turn off or revert to the 
way JBuilder X did it.

Thanks for all the help!
