E.g.
JApplet applet = new JApplet();
applet.add( new MyForm() ); -

'Not implemented (java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: apple.awt.CEmbeddedFrame)'
Do you plan to release a fix soon?
Also, I need to uninstall JFormDesigner from my Eclipse environment, but the 'Uninstall' button is disabled whenever I select JFormDesigner for uninstall. Is there any way other than to manually uninstall JFormDesign from Eclipse?
Regards,
Stephen. -

Please run Eclipse in Apple's Java 6 to avoid this problem.
Regarding uninstall: if you installed JFormDesigner manually, then you also have to uninstall it manually. If installed from http://download.formdev.com/jformdesigner/eclipse/, then you can uninstall it from the "Installation Details" dialog. This is normal Eclipse behavior, isn't it?

Does the IntelliJ IDEA plugin supports the version 12 of the IDE?
If yes, please update the info here: http://www.formdev.com/jformdesigner/download/
If not, when do you plan to provide the support?Regards,
Maxim

I am looking to create an applet using the TableLayout, but found that the JFormDesigner does not support javax.swing.JApplet. Is this the case or am I not using the IDE properly?
Any help you can provide is much appreciated.
