The idea of an XML file is much better than coding any layout. I used to program delphi, and i still believe it is sin to code any simple layout in swing. Java as a language may be 100 steps ahead of delphi, but swing as GUI library is 1000 steps behind delphi version 1! Even if one feels some strange obligation to code layout, why not based it on single layout concept which stays the same across all components? For example, use anchors, bands, etc. Why did sun not have a look at products such as VB, delphi, or even ILOG Views (a C++ GUI library)? |
