Description
Currently in SwingBuilder it is not possible to create an action object in SwingBuilder without assigning it to a parent. This make it more difficult to create an action and assign it to multiple widgets. Currently, it can somewhat awkwardly like this:
builder.frame() {
actions = [:]
menuBar() {
menu( text: "File" ) {
actions.exit = menuItem( action(name: "Exit",
closure: { System.exit(0) } )
)
}
}
button( action: actions.exit )
}
The problem is the form is less clear and requires you to create this map object. It might be nicer to have a section in the builder where actions are declared seperately and stored referred to by variable names:
builder.frame() {
// Action Section
exit = action( name:"Exit", closure: {System.exit(0)} )
// Menu Section
menuBar() {
menu( text:"File" ) {
menuItem( action:exit )
}
}
// Content
button( action: exit )
}
