Yes, populating in Java is a last resort. Where possible, I've been trying
to keep code like that out of the Java code. I'm converting a QT Jambi
app, and all of the UI definition code in Java makes it a mess trying to
find where functionality is actually implemented.
At this point, my stacktrace isn't really valid since I don't know now to
pass the required Class param to EnumList. Another path I may explore is
using ArrayList and passing the Paint.Color.values() array -- I'm not sure
if there's a way to do this in bxml....
Thanks,
Josh
