Levente, Thanks for your input! In the scenario you are describing a cardlayout would certainly be helpful and adding more layout managers to Swixml is really not a lot of work. Originally we wanted to implement all the standard Java-Swing LMs - however, so far there just hadn't been the need or request beyond the already implemented Flow, Border, Grid, and GridBag LMs.
Just in case someone out there already implemented the Converter for additional LMs .. LET US KNOW .. we look forward to your contributions.
