Old gui showing instead of new gui code

[aianta]

Now, I think I'm on the verge of going crazy because something very weird is happening. I had an old gui design which was very rudimentary, and I wanted to replace it with something cleaner. So I used my newly installed GUI design plugin in eclipse and designed a nice neat new gui. Then I migrated the old gui functionality to the new gui. I removed references to the old gui from the main execution thread and then ran the application only to find my old gui design sill being used by the application.

After trying repeatedly to see if there was any remaining reference to the old gui I finally erased the old gui code all together. But it would appear that just to spit in my face life decided to sill use my old gui.

So can anyone tell me why my old gui won't go away?

old gui: (I do realize there is a misspelling in the windows title, ill fix that soon)



new gui: (from design plugin preview)


Execute.java

import javax.swing.JFrame;


public class Execute {

	/**
	 * @param args
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		
		//Store the sentence to be examined
		String sentence [] = {"The","cat","ran"};
		
		//Initialize a new Word Manager
		WordManager test = new WordManager (3);
		
		//Initialize a new Action Module
		Actions testAction = new Actions();
		
		//For each word in the sentence to be examined create a word 
		for (int i = 0; i< sentence.length; i++){
			
			Word word = new Word(sentence[i],test);
		}
		
		//Get the words that were added in the previous loop
		for (int i = 0; i < test.getWords().length; i++){
			//Print out each word.
			System.out.println(test.getWords()[i].getName());
		}
		
		MainApplicationWindow gui = new MainApplicationWindow (test);
		
		gui.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		gui.setVisible(true);
	
	}

}

new gui code:

import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;

public class MainApplicationWindow extends JFrame {

	private JPanel contentPane;
	private JPanel wordPanel;
	private JComboBox selectColor;
	private JComboBox selectWord;
	private JButton button;
	private WordManager manager;
	
	Actions action = new Actions();
	/**
	 * Create the frame.
	 */
	public MainApplicationWindow(WordManager manager) {
		
		super ("Algorithm Analyser 0.1");
		this.manager = manager;
		this.setLayout(null);
		
		setBounds(100, 100, 450, 156);
		contentPane = new JPanel();
		contentPane.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5));
		setContentPane(contentPane);
		contentPane.setLayout(null);
		
		wordPanel = action.getWordPanel(manager);
		wordPanel.setBounds(10, 11, 414, 59);
		contentPane.add(wordPanel);
		
		SelectListener handler = new SelectListener ();
		
		selectWord = new JComboBox(manager.getWordNames());
		selectWord.setSelectedIndex(0);
		selectWord.setBounds(10, 81, 93, 20);
		selectWord.addActionListener(handler);
		contentPane.add(selectWord);
		
		selectColor = new JComboBox(action.getColorNames());
		selectColor.setSelectedIndex(0);
		selectColor.addActionListener(handler);
		selectColor.setBounds(113, 81, 93, 20);
		contentPane.add(selectColor);
		
		button = new JButton ("Submit");
		button.setBounds(216, 81, 89, 23);
		button.addActionListener(handler);
		contentPane.add(button);

	}
	
	//Begin action listener
	private class SelectListener implements  ActionListener  {
		
		@Override
		public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated method stub
			
			//When Submit button is pressed get the word and the colour then change them appropriately
			if (e.getActionCommand() == "Submit"){
	
				action.ChangeColor(manager.getWords()[selectWord.getSelectedIndex()],
						action.getColors()[selectColor.getSelectedIndex()]);

				
			}
			
		}
	}

Not sure what your problem is. If you remove all references to the old classes from your code and remove all definitions for the old classes from your PC, how can the old versions of the programs come back?
The only answer is that somewhere there is still a version of the old code.

What is the purpose of your posted code? What does it show?

[aianta]

Execute.java is my main class it runs the program and as you can see there is no reference there to GUI.java (which is my old GUI code) instead there is a reference to MainApplicationWindow.java (my new gui code) however despite this when I run Execute.java the old gui shows.

[Norm]

Does the new GUI sure the same Strings as the old GUI?
Change them to see what code is being used.

[aianta]

Well, this is interesting, I changed the strings in Execute.java and found that the old gui shows, with "The cat ran" even though I changed the strings. I suppose I should also mention that I am using Subversion with eclipse to manage this project, I don't know if that helps but I could erase all local copies and grab another copy of the files from my local server.

Sounds like your IDE is in control. Did you pay your monthly fees?
Good luck.

Good god! Skynet, the machines are rising :(

[aianta]

Ok well, I found the culprit, it has something to do with my SVN since I moved all the files to another java project and everything worked through the new gui. Now however I have to deal with a faulty svn :/
