Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: codeblocks

When I install Code::Blocks from the Ubuntu Jaunty repository and create
a wxWidgets project, no form editor appears, and there's no obvious way
to bring one up.

In the wxWidgets project wizard, it lets you select between wxSmith and
wxFormBuilder (neither of these are installed with codeblocks
8.02-0ubuntu3 by default).  Selecting either option and proceeding
results in no obvious form builder or form building menus.

Installing codelite-plugins-wxformbuilder and wxformbuilder seem to have
little effect on Code::Blocks.

Installing codeblocks-contrib results in visible form editing
capabilities in a new wxWidgets project using wxSmith.

Thus, the problem is that it's not easy to get form editing to come up
in Code::Blocks for a wxWidgets project like it should be.  Compare the
tutorial at
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=WxSmith_tutorial:_Hello_world
with installing the codeblocks package without any plugins and creating
a new wxWidgets project with it.  If form editing requires extra
packages, Code::Blocks should at least warn the user that these packages
are missing so he/she can install them.
