2 Agenda Goals Design: Matisse GUI Builder Medium Applications: JSR-296 Tooling Large Applications: NetBeans Platform Conclusion 2

3 Goals Show that NetBeans IDE is the one-stop shop for all Swing desktop needs Ready out of the box, for applications of all sizes: Demo 1: Matisse GUI Builder Demo 2: Tooling for JSR-296 Demo 3: NetBeans Platform 3

4 Agenda Goals Design: Matisse GUI Builder Medium Applications: JSR-296 Tooling Large Applications: NetBeans Platform Conclusion 4

5 GroupLayout Part of JDK 6 Principles: Independent dimensions Hierarchical groups Designed to suit GUI Builder needs 5

6 Matisse GUI Builder Professional quality layout easily done Intuitive drag & drop interface Guidelines Resize, align, optimal spacing Automatically resizes when localized 6

8 Agenda Goals Design: Matisse GUI Builder Medium Applications: JSR-296 Tooling Large Applications: NetBeans Platform Conclusion 8

9 Motivation for JSR-296 public static void main(string args[]) { // good luck! } 9

10 JSR-296 Features Lifecycle support Resources Actions Tasks Session state 10

11 Lifecycle Support (On your own) import javax.swing.*; public class HelloWorldSwing { public static void main(string[] args) { JFrame frame = new JFrame("HelloWorldSwing"); final JLabel label = new JLabel("Hello World"); frame.getcontentpane().add(label); frame.setdefaultcloseoperation(jframe.exit_on_close); frame.pack(); frame.setvisible(true); } } 11

12 Lifecycle Support (With JSR-296) public class MyApp extends SingleFrameApplication protected void startup() { JLabel label = new JLabel("Hello World"); show(label); } public static void main(string[] args) { Application.launch(MyApp.class, args); } } 12

13 Demo of JSR-296 Show all the other JSR-296 features in action. Integrate Flickr into a Swing desktop application based on JSR-296 using NetBeans tooling. 13
