Cristi, Oh how I miss Swing! That is one of the main reasons I took a look at Wicket.. I loved Swing. I still don't get why so many people feel Swing wasn't a good UI to develop in. Threading was a bit tricky, but workable if you knew how to deal with it. The event system was fantastic, and while it may not have run GUI as fast as native, it ran on damn near every platform out there and looked the same on all. I thought it was by far the best overall cross-platfrom desktop GUI kit to develop in.. the only time it was a bit trivial was with complex large screens that had tons of widgets and data on it.. but after JDK 1.4 it was pretty smooth even then on Solaris, Windows, Mac and Linux.
So you're not alone.. I built several desktop apps, my plugin engine was originally modeled after Eclipse (platonos on sourceforge) and I was working on a complete pluggable Swing framework when everything started going Web 2.0. -- View this message in context: http://apache-wicket.1842946.n4.nabble.com/Apache-Wicket-is-a-Flawed-Framework-tp4080411p4088005.html Sent from the Users forum mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org
