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 Harry Pfohl
