I don't think you fully read my explanation and why this is not what I want. I don't want to recompile every time and this method is specific to one datagrid. I am not using the 'splash stack' method so much as I am using a launcher with all the libraries and engine in one place.
I've read the piece on how to add the datagrid to stacks assembled in the > standalone creator, however this is different. > I don't change the splash stack - everything other than the engine and > libraries live in the current stack.
