[ve-dev] Re: Re: Using JEM to draw cartoon images of widgets (Rich Kulp)

Hi Rich,

Now I understand the high level picture better. Thanks a bunch.
I have started playing around with the code and now understand a small part
of VE implementation (vow).

I created a ProxyFactoryRegistry using the
IDERegistration.createIDEProxyFactoryRegistry(...), as per your previous
instructions.

Next I thought I should register a BeanProxyFactory, using the
proxyFactory.registrerBeanProxyFactory() method.
As the first parameter, I'm using the
IStandardAwtBeanProxyFactory.REGISTRY_KEY.
I'm stuck on what should be the second parameter. The AWT bean factories in
jem.internal.proxy.awt are not visible.
VE uses jem.internal.proxy.remote.awt.REMStandardAWTBeanProxyFactory.

Please advise whether I'm on the right track?
Thanks
Namrata
