Hi,

i have started learning JAVA few weeks ago and developed small application but i need to see a good application source code which will help me improve my development

so can any tell me few Open Source Projects which help in learning and improving my development approach for Desktop Application ? even if Open Source Project is small there is always some thing to learn (if its build correctly) .

hi, i am beginner and i have a very simple and silly question ....


my application will have multiple UI so which method is preferred for creating desktop application UI (with some back end coding too) ? JavaFX FXML application or simple JavaFX application ?

Sorry for late reply...

My desktop software is monitoring application. I need to build software to monitor all activities of user and some other small features. This software going to send all the data to web application (api) and all the report and other stuff is managed in web application. This software is needed to be build for all OS. This software is very similar to time tracking application

I hope that I am able to clarify the scope of project

thanks @Ulf_Dittemer for giving a quick reply and thanks @Campbell_Ritchie for giving me a warm welcome

i would like your hear remarks about http://www.jidesoft.com/jdaf/ , http://www.jgoodies.com/ and Griffon too from @Ulf_Dittemer and all the other people

i know Griffon primary language is groovy (just read it), would it be good for me to dig into Groovy ?


@Winston Gutkowski thanks for replying

as i am already learning Java so i thought that adding (any suggested ) framework into it would save my time too


i had selected JAVA because i have to develop desktop application for multi-platform (Mac , Win and Linux ) and the desktop application requires access to operating system processes.(i won't discuss application here because it would take this thread outside topic)

Hi everyone, i have recently switched from .net to java due to development of multi platform desktop application (but truthfully there were .net project in pipeline in office ) and web application (it will be developed for handling API requests from Desktop application and it will be developed in PHP because we got very big force of PHP developers here in our team)

i have recently started to learn it and found it is easy to learn because i had worked in C-sharp and its quite similar to each other

but some questions comes in my mind so i thought i should get some answers from experts. as my currently focus is on desktop application so i would ask question regarding to it (but feel free to give little broad answer for extending my knowledge in JAVA )

1. should i consider learning any framework on JAVA ? which and why ?
2. my desktop application will go into many development life-cycles (because it would be SaaS application later on) so considering any JAVA framework would be a good option ?
3. should i consider looking into Test Driven Development for developing desktop app ?

and i really appreciate if any one could give a good guidelines for developing good application

thanks
