So my question is this: is there a Java IDE lurking out there (among the
dozens of Java IDEs) that uses Java serialization instead of code
generation to store UI structure data?
Well, some Ex-NeXTers once had a company called NetCode, which
developed an IB-like UI tool and an AppKit-like class library.
Netscape bought NetCode, the class library became Netscape's
IFC, and the IB-like tool disappeared. IFC was subsumed into
Swing, and I think much of it was tossed.
I don't recall if NetCode Builder used a nib-like thing,
but if any Java IDE was going to, that was probably the
best bet. I think it might have.
Dunno if anyone else has one.
