Developing rich GUI apps The Tapestry way
Hello,
I've developed a couple of Tapestry apps and now we have to develop an application with a rich gui in Java (SWING or SWT).
I particularly like 'The Tapestry way' of developing the UI as opposed to the Struts, JSP or JSF way. What I like the most is the notion of high-level application components that are easy to create, easy to use by other programmers and that encapsulate both visual appearance and some high-level functionality unique to that particular application.
Our application will consist of hundreds of screens all of them very similar (kind of CRUD but not exactly). Had it been in web, Tapestry would be a great choice. We could create some high level components and our screens' sources would by very simple, clear and concise.
And the question is: what do you, Tapestry addicts, use for development of rich gui Java apps? Plain SWING? SWT? Some framework?
XUL (XSWT) is quite close to my expectations, but it's missing "application-level custom components". What's your opinion?
thanks
jan soltis

I prefer c++ to java but this is other history ;)

Then you should check out the new Qt4 java package. :)

If you like declarative UI then I suggest you to look

Hi Ján
maybe JGoodies is interesting for you take a look to http://www.jgoodies.com/
I don't try it yet but use same applications developed with it, I
preefer Qt-4 for reach Ui applications rather than Java
.

I've done both and tend toward straight Swing using, of course,
gridbag layout with either Eclipse or Netbeans. The new "Matisse"
layout manager from Netbeans is pretty nice -- almost drag and drop.
Swing is OK, once you get used to the layout manager stuff. UI user
events tie off nicely to backend handlers well if you're using a
visual gui like Eclipse or Netbeans.
