The form designer was removed because it breached Borland licence agreement. It was putting design time packages code into the release packages, thus putting it in the final applications.
This is strictly forbidden and this is why we removed it.
Noone ever expressed the need for something like this and noone ever actually volunteered to create one from scratch.

> Borland licence agreement?

The RADesigner had used Designtime packages which are used by Delphi32.exe. And Borland does not allow to deploy these files.

> can you show me?
Have a look at your DEPLOY.TXT in the Delphi folder.

That would be nice. But it meight take some time because at the moment it is holiday time also for JVCL developers.

We are always opened to donations, but please give us more information on what it does and how it does it.

> What is extlib? What do you mean?
See http://swiss.torry.net/packslite.htm - "Extension Library v.2.1 by Evgeny Balabuyev" and "ExtLib Design-time form editing engine v.2.2 by Dageek".

These are not based on Borland design packages, so dosen't breach the license. I once asked Evgeny if we could include them in JVCL and he said no because the rights to the code had been bought by a commercial company. The Dageek version is based on Evgenys work, so without Evgenys permission, there is no use including the 2.2 package either.

Well, if the author cannot (or does not want to) donate the component set, we won't "cannibalize" it and we won't accept any code based on it.
I then consider this issue closed

Unless someone comes up with a ready made donation that does not use Borland's design packages and can be distributed under the MPL license, we won't put any effort in doing such a big development.
