Hi, As I am the one who used buoy in a plugin (simple query, which has been introduced in the core distribution at some point), I'll give again my feeling : Buoy is a great UI toolkit. I'm not an expert who will assure it is better than all other ones, but as far as I can remember, it offers a clear interface, a clever way to manage events, and last but not least, the author of buoy built AOI on top of buoy, a great desktop application (rank 37 on sourceforge) which is somehow comparable to OpenJUMP, with a very nice user interface. That's why I encourage people interested in UI design to experiment this library.
That said, I agree with Paul. Using third party libraries for OJ plugins should be avoided as much as possible. Such a UI toolkit is worthwhile if it is used from the beginning, or at least for a whole bunch of plugins. Actually, with only one plugin using buoy, I admit that removing the dependency would be a good option. So my advice is : - try buoy and make your own opinion - don't use buoy for OJ plugins except if you have a big project including many plugins or a plan for a complete redesign of OJ. my 2 cents Michaël Paul Austin a écrit : > Eric, > > Please try using regular Swing, I'd like to remove Buoy from Open JUMP > as I see no real advantage over the functionality offered by swing. > Sure it maybe slightly easier for developers who aren't used to swing. > But it's just another API that people will have to learn. > > Paul > > Eric Lemesre wrote: > >> >> I would try it this week. >> >> Eric >> >> 2007/10/31, Stefan Steiniger <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >> <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>>: >> >> because it is easier to use for non GUI-experts? >> >> just a thought, and noted here: >> >> http://buoy.sourceforge.net/AboutBuoy.html >> >> otherwise, why should michael have used it. >> but if somebody is able to remove the buoy code from OJ... i >> would not >> object ;) >> >> stefan >> >> Paul Austin schrieb: >> > We have to ask the question what does Buoy give us over using >> regular Swing? >> > >> > Paul >> > >> > Stefan Steiniger wrote: >> >> but as I said, >> >> >> >> buoy: http://www.buoybuilder.com/ is already used ;) >> >> >> >> stefan >> >> >> >> Eric Lemesre schrieb: >> >> >> >>> Hi all, >> >>> >> >>> Thank for this precision. >> >>> >> >>> Eric >> >>> >> >>> 2007/10/30, Paul Austin < [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>>: >> >>> >> >>>> Eric, >> >>>> >> >>>> Have a look at the SpringLayout manager from Swing.
