 pre-configured
 framework with all the standard bells and whistles for your average
 forms-based application: E.G. - Main Window - Menu (File, Open, Save,
 Help - all functional)

I know this kind of frameworks from Microsoft and Borland and one of my 
reasons to use fltk was, that they doesn't match my needs. That means, I 
didn't use the framework, but I worked aroud it, because most of my 
applications doesn't  match this standars scheme.

 Lately I have found myself writing quite a few new FLTK based apps
 and I always seem to be reinventing the wheel. Is there an
 out-of-the-box skeleton framework I can re-use for this purpose?

So you can copy your own projects.

 If any of you are familiar with Netbeans, you will know that there is
 something called the 'Netbeans Platform', which is a pre-configured
 framework with all the standard bells and whistles for your average
 forms-based application: E.G.
 - Main Window
 - Menu (File, Open, Save, Help - all functional)
 - Toolbar with shortcuts to menu above
 - Perhaps an OK or Cancel button (ala MFC wizard?)
 - etc.
 
 Lately I have found myself writing quite a few new FLTK based apps and
 I always seem to be reinventing the wheel. Is there an out-of-the-box
 skeleton framework I can re-use for this purpose? If not then should I
 release one? I specifically need a v1.3.x example but it should exist
 for all versions I reckon.

It's an interesting idea, but I have to confess I never found them (predefined 
templates and frameworks) all that helpful in the past. 

Certainly, I have had better (in the sense of being quicker, easier, and 
better tailored to my needs) results just throwing together an initial 
template in fluid then building out from that.

But I have no idea what suits others in terms of workflow and such...

Contributions welcome of course!

Cheers,
