Mathieu,
Thank you for that pointer. I'll check that out.
Neil,
The API that I'm using is my own customized version of the old Swing
AppFramework API from Java.net.
Getting the application name, title, ID, and version was simply a matter of
using the ResourceMap class, such as:
ResourceMap rm = Application.getInstance().getContext().getResourceMap();
Application.getInstance().getMainFrame().setTitle(
*rm.getString("Application.title")*);
While I have heavily customized that old API, there are parts of it, such
as ResourceMap, that still work as they originally did. In my current
application, I use the resource bundle properties files to store all sorts
of default property settings for the application, as well as the
application-specific information, such as the title, name, id, vendor name,
vendor id, version, default look and feel, etc. These bundle files are also
where I store localization properties such as icons, fonts, colors, etc.,
above the internationalization properties for string values.
This API has been serving me well for quite a while, but I do not have
docking for my applications and the single- and multi-document interfaces
are so a couple of decades ago, that I was considering porting the
applications to the NetBeans Platform as RCPs, simply for the docking
interface. Other than that, I am satisfied with my API.
I hope this information helps you to be able to give me some pointers in
what I am trying to accomplish. I truly do appreciate both of your
suggestions!
