If you're just learning Swing, this isn't the book for you, however once you're comfortable building GUI's, Swing Hacks can help you think up new and interested ideas to make your application just a bit more compelling. If you're bored with Swing, this book will help get the creative juices flowing again. I'm very happy with it!

There is one idea I very happily used. Hack #95 shows how to send the System.out and System.err streams to a custom panel. This is amazingly useful for me. We deliver an application with Java WebStart. Sometimes, useful information is printed to System.out. But naive users of WebStart won't know how to turn on the WebStart console. I easily adapted code from the book to send System.out to a "Console" panel inside our application. It is much easier to tell our users how to turn on that "Console" than to tell them how to turn on the WebStart Console.

A. Why are your end users needing to see information that is sent to System.out and System.err? Better yet, why is your application writing messages to those streams?
B. This is something you didn't think to do? Capture those streams? You spent $20+ dollars to learn that? To me, that doesn't seem a fair tradeoff. For you that is.

I haven't read the book in question, but $20 is not so bad.
