There is much more stuff available for free as for .NET. And just looking at JTable, this is such a powerful thing - never ever seen such a thing somewhere else. Of course, the learning curve is a little steeper. > to be a Swing Application Framework (JSR-296) which (along with > JSR-295) attempted to make it easier to developer medium sized > applications. I don't think that for an average sized application you already need to look at a framework. In Java land (especially in EE) people are very fast in picking frameworks and end up in huge component stacks. >From what Nick writes, I even assume he is not going to write huge applications in Swing.

I think, it is quite hasty to judge something of being dead without a good alternative has been really brought to live. Apart from the fact, that designing scene graphs for me does not raise the feeling of being well suited for a business application. - Anyway maybe JavaFX will evolve to an alternative to Swing, but I looked at both and decided for Swing. -- Martin Wildam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
