Re: GUI Editor



Eclipse does in fact have a GUI builder that works on the Mac. It can be found here

http://eclipse.org/vep/

It works very cleanly and has a number of features that I, as a hand coder, find very
valuable.


0) It does not generate code that is 'off limits' and does not use external files to store
information. It loads the GUI builder directly from the source code.


1) It easily imports existing hand coded UIs. The one wrinkle if you use GridBagLayout
is that each UI element should be added to the interface with their own GridBagconstraints object.


2) As a result of 1 you can edit in either visual mode or hand code mode an switch back
easily.

This is probably a stupid question but please ... have pity with me :-)

I've been asked to show how JavaBeans and a GUI builder works together but my
problem is that I'm old-fashioned (and don't do much Java development) so I
use BBEdit and javac.


In other words I don't know anything about graphical GUI builders for Java, I
looked at some of the various Java IDE (Eclipse, JGrasp, NetBeans, DrJava)
but none of them seem to a GUI builder that runs on a Mac.


Am I missing something completely? Can anyone give me an advise what to use?

I tried downloading Bean Builder from Sun but it didn't work.
