Eclipse Form designer: 'FormToolKit has been disposed' error
I'm working on a fork of a Java project in Eclipse. The project has several forms which need to be updated.
When I click on the .form to open the form designer, I get a "Form Setup" ... thing (dialog? window? menu?) which says "Define design/settings of the form in the following section". Within the (window?) is a list of items.
When I then go to click on the item with the same name as the form ("OptionsDialog"), I get the following error message:
An error has occurred. See error log for more details. Cannot invoke "org.entirej.framework.plugin.framework.properties.EJPluginEntireJProperties.getFormRendererContainer()" because "entireJProperties" is null
When I click on any other item in that list (e.g. "Blocks"), I get the following error message:
An error has occurred. See error log for more details. FormToolkit has been disposed
My question is this:
Is there a quick, easy, less-than-10-minutes way to either:
Get JFace working again (it's not available in Eclipse marketplace and I can't seem to find any downloads for it)
or
Install a new form designer plugin that will just work with the existing .form units (I'm about 20% sure they're Swing-based)?
