  • Eclipse plug-in: Support look and feels in design view if running Eclipse in Java 17+.
  • IntelliJ IDEA plug-in: JFormDesigner pages in Settings dialog are no longer a child of page "Other Settings".

Bugs fixed

  • IntelliJ IDEA plug-in: Fixed designer background in "New UI" dark mode, which was equal to JPanel background.
  • IntelliJ IDEA plug-in: Java code generator did not respect code style settings defined in EditorConfig (requires IntelliJ IDEA 2023.1+).
  • Java Code Generator: Fixed compile error when using final modifier for variables.
  • Form Converter: Fixed occasional ConcurrentModificationException when form is opened after conversion.
  • Form Converter: Fixed ClassCastException: layout of JScrollPane must be a ScrollPaneLayout if form contains custom component, which extends JScrollPane and has a view component.
  • Fixed occasional wrong layout in design view when changing designer look and feel. E.g. from IntelliJ Laf to FlatLaf.
  • Invocation of UIManager.setLookAndFeel() (e.g. from JIDE's LookAndFeelFactory.installDefaultLookAndFeel()) from custom components (used in designer) no longer changes IDE look and feel.
