Method Detail

getJavaInitializationString

public String getJavaInitializationString()

This method is intended for use when generating Java code to set the value of the property. It should return a fragment of Java code that can be used to initialize a variable with the current property value.

Example results are "2", "new Color(127,127,34)", "Color.orange", etc.

Specified by:

getJavaInitializationString in interface PropertyEditor

Overrides:

getJavaInitializationString in class PropertyEditorSupport

Returns:

A fragment of Java code representing an initializer for the current value.

getAsText

public String getAsText()

Specified by:

getAsText in interface PropertyEditor

Overrides:

getAsText in class PropertyEditorSupport

Returns:

The property value as a human editable string.

Returns null if the value can't be expressed as an editable string.

If a non-null value is returned, then the PropertyEditor should be prepared to parse that string back in setAsText().
