Swing GUI Development


In addition to numerous improvements of the highly acclaimed NetBeans GUI Designer (formerly known as "Project Matisse"), Java desktop application development support has been enhanced with following features:


Swing Database Applications. Taking advantage of Beans Binding technology (JSR 295) and the Java Persistence API, it is now easier than ever to create Swing desktop database applications. Using the new Java Desktop Application project template, you can quickly set up a form that displays a database table and enables you to modify the database. Bind a database table to an existing form by dragging a table from the Runtime window onto a form.

Beans Binding. Besides helping with database applications, the IDE's support for beans binding also makes it much easier for you to keep properties of different beans in synch.

Swing Application Framework (JSR 296) support. You can now develop small to medium-sized desktop applications faster than ever by taking advantage of the building blocks provided by the Swing Application Framework. This framework simplifies the handling of the application lifecycle, actions and resources.
