2 Introduction Standards Resurgence of Swing Performance & look and feel Delivery over the web Layout manager & GUI builder Development frameworks 2

3 Agenda Goals Matisse GUI Builder Framework 1: JSR-296 Tooling Framework 2: NetBeans Platform Conclusion 3

4 Goals Show that NetBeans IDE is the one-stop shop for all Swing desktop needs Ready out of the box, for applications of all sizes: Demo 1: Matisse GUI Builder Demo 2: Tooling for JSR-296 Demo 3: NetBeans Platform 4

5 Agenda Goals Matisse GUI Builder Framework 1: JSR-296 Tooling Framework 2: NetBeans Platform Conclusion 5

6 GroupLayout Part of JDK 6 Principles: Independent dimensions Hierarchical groups Designed to suit GUI Builder needs 6

7 Matisse GUI Builder Professional quality layout easily done Intuitive drag & drop interface Guidelines Resize, align, optimal spacing Automatically resizes when localized 7

9 Agenda Goals Matisse GUI Builder Framework 1: JSR-296 Tooling Framework 2: NetBeans Platform Conclusion 9

10 Motivation for JSR-296 public static void main(string args[]) { // good luck! } 10

11 JSR-296 Features Lifecycle support Resources Actions Tasks Session state 11

12 Lifecycle Support (On your own) import javax.swing.*; public class HelloWorldSwing { public static void main(string[] args) { JFrame frame = new JFrame("HelloWorldSwing"); final JLabel label = new JLabel("Hello World"); frame.getcontentpane().add(label); frame.setdefaultcloseoperation(jframe.exit_on_close); frame.pack(); frame.setvisible(true); } } 12

13 Lifecycle Support (With JSR-296) public class MyApp extends SingleFrameApplication protected void startup() { JLabel label = new JLabel("Hello World"); show(label); } public static void main(string[] args) { Application.launch(MyApp.class, args); } } 13

14 Demo of JSR-296 Show all the other JSR-296 features in action. Integrate Flickr into a Swing desktop application based on JSR-296 using NetBeans tooling. 14
