[Paraview] Problem loading custom object panels

[Lodron, Gerald]

Hi
I found the error after 5 hour debugging:
My CMake variable " GUI_INTERFACES " has the same name as the key of the plugin makro
> ADD_PARAVIEW_PLUGIN(MySourcePlugin "1.0"
>     GUI_INTERFACES ${GUI_INTERFACES}
>     GUI_RESOURCE_FILES ${GUI_XML}
>     GUI_SOURCES ${GUI_SRCS}
>     SERVER_MANAGER_XML ${SERVERMANAGER_XML}
>     SERVER_MANAGER_SOURCES ${SERVERMANAGER_SRC}
> )
And the ADD_PARAVIEW_PLUGIN macro could not parse it. When  I change the variable name to

>     SERVER_MANAGER_SOURCES ${SERVERMANAGER_SRC}

It works :-)

That's really annoying, lol. I know that paraview shifted the interface in version 4, I normally wait 1-2 subversions after upgrading a mayor version because of bugs.... But I hope that there is a good migration guide....

Best regards and thanks for help
Yours Gerald

Gerald,

I cannot spot anything obviously wrong. Can yo share the code or something? BTW you may want to move away from custom panels since future releases will deprecate them. Refer to the following Wiki pages for details:
