7. SWING losing the Desktop War? A Rant.    coderanch.com

Ok, so let's have another SWING debate/discussion. There is no doubt that the SWING API is pretty nice in regards to the current API. There is also no doubt that the API could be a lot easier to use. A simple example of this is why have a JTextArea class that does not have a JScrollPane already? How many time have ...

12. Why Desktop Java Live? Why not Swing Live?    coderanch.com

Scott, It might be a curious question. I'm wondering why you don't name the book title as simple as Swing Live. Probably I don't have a lot of experience in terminology used in Swing API. By just looking at the title of the book, I cannot imagine that the book is about Swing. I thought that the book is about some ...

17. Current Desktop app approaches    coderanch.com

Hi All, I'm just curious as to what the most common/ and even modern upcoming approaches are when it comes to writing desktop apps.

On the J2EE side of things, ...

Started life as a pure thick desktop Swing client pointing over the network at an Oracle database server. ...

24. GUI : how popular is Swing for desktop apps ?    coderanch.com

Why do you think that Swing is not preferred for the GUI in desktop apps? And if Swing is not preferred, what do you think is used instead?

26. Closing 1 Desktop App, But Not The Other    java-forums.org

My main class, call it Main.java, calls a Desktop Application I created in Netbeans. After the user clicks a button, it returns to Main.java, which then calls another desktop application which I created with Netbeans. The thing is, if I close one of them, I end up closing both. Is there a way that I can just close one but not ...

I'm attempting to open a pdf help file on button click. However I get a null pointer exception on button click.
