JavaZone 2012 - Swing with Style
In this session we explain how to implement consistent Swing applications in a comprehensible and clearly arranged way. We show detailed sources for a contact editor example and discuss a bunch of tips. The presented implementation style is applicable for the popular desktop patterns "Model-View-Presenter" and "Presentation Model" and variants; it can be used with or without visual editor, with different binding approaches and component creation mechanisms, as well as different layout techniques. It can be ported to other toolkits such as JavaFX, the SWT and even to other environments, e.g. the GWT.
