Re: Subject: Re: SWT or Swing



Check out this presentation on "Matisse" the new GUI builder for the next version of NetBeans:

http://www.netbeans.org/files/documents/4/475/matisse.html

Looks really nice. I've been using the current GUI builder in NetBeans for a while and have been quite happy with it, but it looks like the new version will make it much quicker to build decent- looking GUIs. With the current version, its not so difficult to put together a GUI but despite being a graphical editor, it does require fairly detailed knowledge of Swing to structure the Frames and Dialogs correctly to get good attractive results.

Hmmm, looks like IB, but most certainly doesn't work like IB - what's all this resetUI() / respondUI() stuff ? IB used RTTI (reflection) to bind GUI objects to fields in classes whose code you write.

An interesting (but unfinished) gui builder influenced by IB is:
