jeudi juin 30, 2005 Matisse and the new layout manager
After the Matisse BoF (NetBeans new GUI builder); I had a TexMex lunch with Alexis. The Corona discussion was around Matisse and the new layout manager that was co-developped by the Swing team and the NetBeans team. It seems that a few people were complaining because this new layout manager introduce "a new dependency"!? I have just checked, the current release is less than 100k; so that is just an additional small jar, what's the problem with that? Who can't afford this? So I was wondering about the license, maybe the license used was not very friendly to some people... but it is LGPL! There should be no problem with the license. So clearly, there is no reason to not use it now! If everything goes well, this layout manager should land in a future version JDK. Just try to out Matisse to see how this layout manager combined with a nice GUI builder really help a lot to create nice looking GUI in Java.
