A new Swixml version has been released and is available for download at the
swixml Web site at http://www.swixml.org
Documentation and sample code have been updated as well.
The API seems to stabilize and this is more a maintenance release,
containing bug fixes and cleanups. I.e. separators are now usable everywhere
not only in menus and toolbars, Layout managers improved a little and now be
declared in the XML like this:
* FlowLayout()
* FlowLayout(int align)
* FlowLayout(int align, int hgap, int vgap)
* BorderLayout()
* BorderLayout(int hgap, int vgap)
* ..
Like pointed out in a previous note, a new cleanup() method has been added
to the SwingEngine class. Cleanup removes all un-displayable components from
the id map and therefore makes widgets that have been removed from the UI,
available for garbage collection.
A component is made undisplayable either when it is removed from a
displayable
containment hierarchy or when its containment hierarchy is made
undisplayable.
A containment hierarchy is made undisplayable when its ancestor window is
disposed.
A short but still very interesting example has been added:
http://www.swixml.org/samples/
The 6. example on that page shows a custom Tag that was added to the
rendering SwingEngine. This custom tag itself uses an instance of the
SwingEngine to generate its UI.
Until Next Time...
