Why can't I get XYLayout to work in JBuilder 5 Personal?

By: Josh Fletcher

Abstract: Many tutorials come with directions that use the "XYLayout" layout manager, but Jbuilder 5 Personal does not come with this layout manager.


Question:

Why can't I get XYLayout to work in JBuilder 5 Personal? I get an error like:

Could not find class com.borland.jbcl.layout.XYLayout

 
Answer:

XYLayout is part of the Borland JBCL Library, a library which is not included in JBuilder 5 Personal. If you wish to use XYLayout you will need to upgrade to JBuilder 5 Professional or JBuilder 5 Enterprise.

As a workaround, you can use "null" layout to get similar behavior to XYLayout.
