Synopses & Reviews
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.

Synopsis
Written for the experienced Java developer, ""Swing"" provides an in-depth guide to getting the most out of Sun's Swing/JFC user interface classes. Mixing real-world code examples and expert advice on advanced features, this book shows how to make use of this powerful library effectively.
Synopsis
This book builds on the successful approach of the first edition of Swing, once again taking the power and flexibility of Java's Swing library to its limits. Using a fast-paced style, it starts by introducing each of the Swing components and continues with production-quality code examples in which Swing features are customized, combined, and vigorously exercised to demonstrate real-world usage.
With over 400 pages of revised text, additional examples, and new material to bring the book up to date with J2SE 1.4, Swing 2nd edition includes complete coverage of the new JSpinner and JFormattedTextField components, the new Focus and Keyboard architectures, and many other new and enhanced Swing features. Three new chapters have also been added to cover the construction of HTML and XML editor applications, and how to work with the new Drag and Drop architecture.
