Hey!
Please let's not make this into a battle. We need to get back to servlet
issues.
But since you asked I'll include a few.
JTable very powerful
Tabbed Pane good for organizing
and most of all Object Oriented. It took me awhile to move from procedural to
OO and
then servlets came and now I am back to procedural.
Sans adieu,
Danny Rubis
