If you want to learn building SWING GUIs have a look at
www.jeasy.de. JEasy is an application designer for
JAVA using JAVA 2 with SWING components.
The main concepts are to store all GUI components in an XML file, to use Layout Managers for presentation at runtime and to use XML-messages for serialization of forms.
All GUI components and messages with their properties are defined inside the JEasy repository. A preview shows at once what you have done.
New in 1.6:
- automation script api for
testing - JEasy Client/Server classes for internet and local connection over http with XML
- dynamic tables and panels
Please download form
www.jeasy.de An example application in source code shows how to define nice forms and how to write code using jeasy api.
Have fun
