Taking the power and flexibility of Swing to its limits, this updated edition shows engineers how to build powerful and complex cross-platform GUIs with Java’s Swing components. Covering J2SE 1.4, complete coverage is given to the new the JSpinner and JFormattedTextField component and to the new focus and keyboard architectures. Additionally, the important new topics of constructing an HTML editor application, constructing an XML editor, and drag-and-drop with Swing are analyzed in detail. Also provided are table, tree, text, MDI, and L&F coverage and guidelines, and techniques for good GUI design. Several implementation topics are discussed, such as how to implement stock quote and expense report applications, how to implement FTP and JPEG editor applications, and how to implement a full featured MDI plain-text editor application.
