Reflection

For non-final fields of type String, Boolean, Integer, File, Font, Color, LocalDate, etc. of a class

public class MyConfig {
  public String text = "abc";
  public Boolean flag = false;
  public File file = new File("/home/user/text.txt");
  public Color color = Color.RED;
}

a dialog is auto-generated that allows the user to edit the values of the fields of an instance live.

The code that generates the dialog is shown below

MyConfig myConfig = new MyConfig();
PanelFieldsEditor panelFieldsEditor = new PanelFieldsEditor(myConfig);
panelFieldsEditor.addUniversalListener(() -> System.out.println("my config changed"));
JFrame jFrame = new JFrame();
jFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
jFrame.setContentPane(panelFieldsEditor.createJScrollPane());
jFrame.setBounds(100, 100, 320, 200);
jFrame.setVisible(true);

For Java 11, for version use 0.4.1-jdk-11.

The source code is attached to every release.

The branch master always contains the latest features for Java 17, and does not correspond to the most recent deployed version generally.
