Best GUI Editor as of 2008?

Hi, is there an easy-to-use GUI editor that can help me make GUI's?
I've seen Visual Editor for Eclipse but I need a tutorial that will be modern, not 2005, b/c the tutorials don't fit the latest versions of Eclipse.
I'm just curious if there is an easy way to learn this, as it should be easier to do than this. I'd like extensive, easy to use tutorials.
Thanks

The problem with it regarding Java is that once you understand how the basic layout managers work, it's relatively trivial to write a Swing gui. Not to mention that the code you write yourself will be much more understandable and readable if you have to mess with it later.And I keep hearing this one.
So, you never read it.
Really you don't. The code is a side effect, like the Java file I bet a fair old few JSP containers make. I bet that is awful too. But so what, you never edit it directly.
And if something really does go wrong, throw the thing away. The UI editor makes it very easy to recreate, likely much less work than faffing about in code, generated or not.
The only good arguments against GUI editors at the moment (IMO)
* Ties you to a single development tool. And IMO that is an acceptable cost for some projects.
* Promotes awful design/no thought to reusability. If you can not trust your self, or your developers not to abuse a tool then don't use it. GUI tools can do reusability and good design.
Most tools require you to know the basics first. UI editors are no exception. O/c if you can not do it manually, don't use a tool.
UI tools are not for everyone I agree. But this out-right rejection of them is generally based on things you will not do with them (like read the source it generates) or outdated and based on experience with old tools.

Netbeans GUI editor: Add an action on exit?

Hello,
I have a GUI built using netbeans GUI editor and I would like to execute some code just before the program exits. Does anyone know of a decent way to do this?
Thanks,

Hi,
Just a remark. As a good practice, one should only extend Thread when one wants a Thread to have special capabilities.
Generally, one should create a new Thread with a Runnable. So you could enhance your code as follows:
public ShutdownRunner implements Runnable {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        USB_interface_K8055.JCloseDevice(); // Static JNI method
        System.out.println("Shutting down");
}and
// add shutdown hook for program
        Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(new Thread(new ShutdownRunner());Glad to be of help,
Piet

Forte For Java GUI Editor

Hi everyone,
I've been trying to switch usage between Forte for Java running on 2 platforms (Win NT and Solaris 8). For this reason, I want to try to use the GUI Editor in each. But when I tried copying the same .class file from one platform to another and running opening the file under Forte for Java, the GUI Editor doesn't show up the form and Component Editor. Is there a way to make Forte for Java able to recognize the GUI components in a class file not creatd in Forte or not in that version of Forte? Thank you for any help!
Bob

Hi,
this happens not just with class file but also with .java
file. I created a GUI with Forte ( on windows ) and because I did not jave runtime setup on windows, I copied, java file that was created to the unix env. Then added some code to it and copied back to the windows.
After that, GUI editor never came up. I lost all that I did
to create a GUI. Now I can modify GUI only manually.
I you have found answer to this, please let meknow
at [email protected]

JSpinner in Forte 4.0 CE GUI Editor

Is there any way to integrate a JSpinner in (NetBeans/Forte/)SunOne 4.0 GUI Editor ?
The JSpinner class is in rt.jar, but is not visible as bean, and thus cannot be integrated in the GUI editor ?
Any idea would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Lo�c QUERAN

I just tried that and JSpinner isn't among the choices.
Forte's help says:
"If the beans you expect to see are not displayed, the required attribute Java-Bean: True is missing from the bean's entries in the JAR manifest."
That means extracting/editing/replacing the manifest.mf file in rt.jar to add a section like:
Name: javax/swing/JSpinner.class
Java-Bean: True
Anyway, what I've done in the past is design my Forte GUI with some other component in the JSpinner's place - I usually use a JComboBox. Then after Forte's initComponents() method has run replace it with mine.
JSpinner spin = new JSpinner( someSpinModel );
Container parent = placeHoldJCombo.getParent();
parent.remove( placeHoldJCombo );
parent.add( spin );Although I'll definitely try the manifest.mf edit step next time I need to use JSpinner. Thanks for pointing that out.

The best Latex Editor for MAC

What is the best Latex editor for Mac ? I'm looking for a suitable alternative to MacTex - either Commercial or freeware.

andy8,
there are quite a few “integrated” solutions, combining editor and pdf preview (the very fine TeXShop being one of them) -- some of them are quite new (even beta); TeXShop, on the other hand, is very mature:
TeXPad:
http://vallettaventures.com/texpad
Latexian:
http://tacosw.com/latexian/
TeXnicle:
http://www.bobsoft-mac.de/texnicle/texnicle.html
Scribo:
http://www.scriboapp.com/
Texmaker (cross-platform, qt-based; all the others are OS X native):
http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/index.html
You can also check the entries, and the comments, on Macupdate:
http://www.macupdate.com/find/mac/latex
That said, I use none of them, although I have TeXShop around. (This doesn’t mean the new integrated solutions aren’t any good; I haven’t tried them yet.)
That’s because what’s most important, imho, in a good LaTeX environment is the editor, i.e., how much help is there to get the source written. Accordingly, many people would agree that the best editor available plus a fine synchronised, but stand-alone pdf viewer is superior than a (compromising, or so the musing goes) all-in-one tool.
The, hands-down, best pdf viewer, supporting PDFSync (syncing source and pdf), is Skim; it’s free:
http://skim-app.sourceforge.net/
As regards the best editor, there is constant disagreement among OS X users, some would even say “war” -- but that just shows how vivid the Mac ecosphere is when it comes to such tools.
Leaving the “classics” aside, Emacs (Aquamacs, http://aquamacs.org/) and Vim (Macvim, http://code.google.com/p/macvim/), dreaded for their learning curve, worshipped for their power, two of the best, modern, clean, yet powerful editors are TextMate and Sublime Text 2:
http://macromates.com/
helpful: http://www.astrobetter.com/how-and-why-to-use-textmate-for-latex/
http://www.sublimetext.com/2
helpful: http://tekonomist.wordpress.com/2011/03/25/the-in-progress-latex-plugin-for-subl ime-text-2-4/
Many would hold that the combination of either TextMate (2) or Sublime Text 2 together with Skim provides the best LaTeX environment ever.
Take care.

Actually File to IDOC scenario is very simple.
1.Go to Integration repository,Create a Software Component Version.
2.Under that SWCV Create a Data structure for Source(File).
3.Create a Message Type, Message interface,Message mapping,Interface mapping for the file.
4.Get the IDOC structure from SAP objects Using import objects.
5.Using a sample file u can test it in the message mapping.
6.Activate all these things then and there.
Go to Configuration
1.Create Sender Communication Channel,Sender Agreement,Receiver Determination,Interface Determination and Receiver Agreement.
2.Use File Adapter for File and IDOC adapter for Receiver in the communication channel u specified.
3.Activate all these things then and there.
4.Just create a sample file Using mapping in design and u can see a output file.
Just look at this link:

How can i install a visual gui editor for eclipse? *newbie-alert!!!*

Gui editor with highlighting

Does anyone want to recommend a nice, small, gui editor that will do proper highlighting/markup (whatever you call it) for an assortment of file types (ie tex, fortran, c, etc...). Something to colorize my 'for's, 'while's, and 'vspace's. I don't like gvim for this purpose...something simpler like leafpad but with automatic coloring.
Thanks!

vi is all I use on cli but when I want to point and click and scroll and edit, I don't want to care if I am in insert, command, or command line mode. I used to use kwrite all the time (just a month ago any program I used began with a k) and agree that it is top-notch. However, I think I like medit for an all purpose editor, now; it even recognized scilab files which made me happy. I haven't tried beaver yet but it looks like it could be promising.

Thank's!

Captivate 5 NeoSpeech - GUI editor for VTML behind text?

Is there a GUI editor to embed VTML “behind” text? It seems NeoSpeech is the TTS engine of choice for English (US anyway).
Testing with Captivate 5, the generated audio is *almost* good enough for use as a narrator. We have training “slides” where we voice over to enhance the experience. We have been recording audio but keeping the same person working on this project is difficult. I’d like to have a quality, reproducible source like TTS and the current implementation of NeoSpeech is about 95%. So, I’m thinking of planting VTML in the text but this makes the text awkward and the VTML is not for a casual user.
Is there a way to develop a plug-in that would allow an app to get to the text, manage the VTML behind the scenes something like OOXML is to text editors?

I tested the "Loquendo" voices as Ashwin suggested. Mainly the British English one, Simon, as that can be somewhat compared to the US English. I think I like Paul from Neospeech better, but such a statement does not say much. Here are some more details:
I like the British sound of Simon, I really do. But as far as the natural flow of the sentence - it is not as fluent as Paul from Neospeech. With Simon, I hear that the sentence is combined from independent units - words; sometimes there is a little break in between them (more noticeable than we would naturally do). Paul's renderings sound more like a solid sentence. Also, with Simon, I hear some unnatural intonation shifts in a middle of a word. Not to say that Paul does not have them - but not as often (and the latest Paul from Neospeech's website has very little of them).
On the other side, I do not mean to say that I like everything from Neospeech. I do not like Kate - her intonation is sometimes very unnatural (to my ears). And while some say that the newest voice from Neospeech - Julie - is even better, I like it little less than Paul. True, Julie has a very nice delivery and some words she pronounces very clearly, but other parts she says indistinctly, causing me to wonder if she has an accent, or just lisps. Generally, I prefer male voice over the female one when it comes to computer voices, as the female voices - being in higher frequencies, get more of the s sound. (Perhaps a de-esser could be built-in to the future version of Captivate to improve the voices :-).
If I were to compare the English speaking voices, my list of preferences would be: 1. Paul, 2. Julie (this one is not in Captivate), 3. Simon + Kate. But remember, my ears are different than yours, so this all is just about what I like... Martin P.

Please suggest best GUI client for Linux setup?

HI,
I need to setup OBIEE 11g on Linux. Please suggest best GUI client to connect to linux and setup OBIEE.
appreacite for your help.
Thanks
Jay.

Hi Jay,
You can use Xming server for linux. I have downloaded Xming server 6.9.0.31. It worked well with Windows XP(32 bit) as well as Windows 7(32 bit). I have used it for Oracle HTTP Server installation and OBIEE 11g installation
After installing, to start Xming go to command prompt and start. This invokes the Xming application properly when compared to double click starting.Go to cmd. Go to location C:\Program Files\Xming Enter this
Xming.exe :0 -clipboard -multiwindow -ac.
Note: colon zero ended up in a smiley!
You will see Xming popup in your right side. Go to putty session and export your display with this command.
export DISPLAY=172.45.62.143:0.0
Replace the ip address with your system ip address. The above one is example.
Note: If your putty session is in client network, use the ip address that is in Ethernet: client server.
Test if display is exported properly with this clock command which gives a GUI popup of clock.
xclock &
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Amrutha.
