Rich client designer 1

[advait75]

Hi,

Does anybody know of a tool that will help me design the UI for a rich client application. Also, is there a way of giving the application a Mac Aqua look?

Regards,
Advait

For that kind of work, I use JBuilder. You can get a free version (JBuilder Foundation) for personal use which, although restricted in its functionality, still has all the necessaries when it comes to AWT/Swing work.

I have used a plugin which gives the same functionality to Eclipse, but I believe JBuilder's is better.

There are quite a few plafs at

Please ask standard Java questions in forum269 - this forum is meant for J2EE questions only.

Ahhh.. but maybe Advait is asking about writing a rich J2EE client

I didn't realise there was a "J2EE UI" or J2EE Swing version ... have you got a documentation link for that

LOL. Sedj, you have a very dry wit. Without you TekTips would be a duller place

J2EE doesn't dictate any specific style of user interface. If you create a J2EE server with a Swing administration console that's arguably a Swing J2EE application.
Similarly a Swing application accessing EJBs (for example) on a server somewhere is a J2EE application.

Yeah. I was just goading sedj a bit there. He is correct .. this question is really pure Java (or Java UI if there were such a forum).
