Suggestion for GUI Tools

Please suggest me some good tools for GUI development like JLOOX,JFACE and SWT.

Best book for Swing that I've seen so far is [The online Java Tutorial]Yes, big yes.
One note though: I'm a bit suspicious against the "Learning Swing with the NetBeans IDE" tone the tutorial recently took, but I'm not sure of your objective:
- If you want to learn Swing, the IDE might get in the way (the generated code has acceptable quality, but Netbeans prevents you to edit it directly). If this is your objective, I'd recommend to follow the tutorial (a very good resource, indeed), but to code things manually (the tutorial provides downloadable and copy-pastable examples). One area where NetBeans' visual design helps is experimenting with layout managers: it's easy to right-clik in the GUI builder and see the effect of the changes.
- now if you want to quickly set up a GUI for an app with limited investment in learning Swing, I find NetBeans' GUI builder quite handy. AFAIC, I use a duo of Eclipse/NetBeans, depending on the task (taking care not to overwrite NetBeans's protected sections when I edit throug hEclipse).
- One colleague that used to work with VB tools once mentioned that NB was far late compared to the tools he used to work with, but I suspect what he was referring to were binding widgets to business logic results (reading DB tables, etc..;). NetBeans now addresses these areas too, although I don't use it for that.
Good luck with Swing.

  • Request suggestions for improving tools

    Hi,
    I've written some tools to help me resolve classpath problems on a Windows system. However, I think they are too hard for a beginning programmer to use. Can you give me some ideas for making them easier to use?
    The one tool: CheckClasspath is used to test that the classpath reaches a class file. It uses the current environment CLASSPATH value and the package of the class file to see if there is a path to the class. The problem is getting the current CLASSPATH value into the program. I have several ways to start execution of the program. When a program is started with java -jar the classpath is ONLY to the jar.
    The one I use the most is from the right-click context menu when I right-click on a class file. The problem here is how can the program get the CLASSPATH value? The only way I've found is to call a batch file which can use the %CLASSPATH% variable to pull in and pass the classpath to the program as a parameter.
    The batch file has the following commandline:
    java.exe -jar %JAVA_RUN%\CkClasspath.jar -CP "%CLASSPATH%" %1 %2 %3
    Another way is from a shortcut. Here the OS will substitute the classpath for the %CLASSPATH% value in the program parameters on the commandline.
    The third way is to start the program from the batchfile.
    Some people advocate NOT using the CLASSPATH environment variable. The consequences of that is that you have to type in a new classpath every time you create a batch file or shortcut and I make my share of typing errors.
    The java program does NOT complain if you execute it with a bad/non-existent path. Too bad, that would have saved me hours!!!
    An example usage of CheckClasspath -> create a batch file to execute a class file:
    Create a batch file with the line: java -cp <cp> <path>
    Open the CheckClasspath program and use it to "Open" the class file. It will display the classpath.path to the file.
    Select the 'Copy Classpath to CB' menuitem and paste/replace <cp> above.
    Select the' Copy package to CB' menuitem and paste/replace <path> above.
    I suppose some of the IDEs will do all this for you.
    What ways have others found to verify correct classpath settings when creating commandlines for executing java programs? java.exe is no help there.
    These programs can be downloaded from:

    Thanks,
    Norm

    A lot of program environments -- including batch files, I believe -- can read environment variables without any explicit passing of arguments.
    I mean, in Perl/unix you could easily domy @segments = split ':', $ENV{CLASSPATH};for example.

  • It is Any suggestions for improving Oracle Tools GUI performance?

    Does anyone have any suggestions for improving the GUI performance of Oracles Java Tools? Response to events is very sloooow i.e. click on a menu in Oracle Directory Manager wait three seconds before the menu items appear.
    System Environment:
    Dell Inspiron 8100
    Windows XP Pro
    256MB Ram
    1 GHz
    Oracle:
    Oracle91 Enterprise Edition 9.0.1.1.1
    Other:
    No non Oracle Java components installed (JDKs, JREs etc.)
    Thanks

    If the database and the tools are just on the one box more memory is probably required. I had an nt box with 500MHz 256MB and Oracle 9i and the java tools were unusable. I upgraded to 768MB of ram and the java tools were much quicker. I use the java tools on my laptop 256MB and 800MHz and they work fine for remote databases (ie. no rdbms on the laptop).

  • Gui tool for snapshot

    Hello,
    A blob storage backup is scheduled to run daily, target is say mybackup. I'm wondering whether there is a Gui tool to automate revolving snapshots of mybackup. For instance day 1 to day 7 and the day 8 will replace day1?
    Thank you

    hi Nic75,
    I am not familiar which tool has this feature. However, I know we could do this feature using code. I suggest you could refer to those blogs:

  • Tools for GUI development in Java

    hi,
    Can anybody tell me which r the tools available for GUI development using java?which could be the best

    Take care not to produce much source code! Use a suitable framework rather than a tool and save maintainability. E.g. http://www.must.de/cameleon.html

  • 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.

  • GUI Tool for Image Analysis (delimited ascii file)

    i've created a Java GUI Tool for Image Analysis. It does length calculation and locate the coordinate of centroid of an image...the problem now is how do i save the results in a delimited ascii file??

    Create a FileOutputStream, use that to construct a PrintWriter, then use the PrintWriter as you use System.out. Print out the data, then append the delimiter manually after each set of data.
    To get the file, the simplest ways would be to hard code an output file name or at least have a text field so the user can enter it. If you want it to look more professional, use a JFileChooser.
    I hope this helps!

  • Any GUI tool for JSF?

    Does anyone (IBM, SUN, Borland, open_source, etc) have GUI tool or GUI editor for building JSF?
    *Can I receive this forum at my email?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

    I just got back from the JavaONE convention in SF and Sun had a demo of an IDE project that is in progess. It was called "Project Rave". It looked like a really great tool. It had drag and drop components for a database query, web services functionality, and all of your JSP form objects. I was really impressed and think it will be a great tool. They also said that it would eventually support Java Rich Client development as well. They said it would not be available until Fall or the end of the year.

  • Need suggestion for choosing Java development enviroment

    Hi Evereyone,
    I am new to Java Desktop Application.I need help on choosing proper Java technologies and development tool.
    We have an existing CLIENT/SERVER based distributed control system, which was developed in C++(Server side) and VB(Client GUI).Now we are think of migrating the system to Java platform.
    Here is the outline:
    We want to create web based application that will run on windows and linux (linux on embedded PC).
    The application should be able to support 10 � 100 users at once accessing/editing database.
    We will also need to create a communication server that will run on web server P.C. that will communicate tcpip to field panels/log to db, as well as allow web screens to send/receive commands with field panels etc.
    Could any one give me some suggestion about it?
    I am thinking of Using J2SE 5.0, including RMI, JDBC and Swing for GUI. As for field panels, may choose J2ME.
    Thank you very much in advance.

    Thanks, zadok .
    Actually, I don't have the system requirements neither. All I know is the following outline:
    "We want to create web based application that will run on windows and linux (linux on embedded PC).
    The application should be able to support 10 � 100 users at once accessing/editing database.
    We will also need to create a communication server that will run on web server P.C. that will communicate tcpip to field panels/log to db, as well as allow web screens to send/receive commands with field panels etc."
    It is a interview question, which need me to do research and give some suggestions. What I want to know is to figure out what kind of Java technology is necessary for developing this system because I want to make sure I head to right direction.
    I know somehow it is hard to give suggestion based on this limited information.
    One more thing I was confusing is the server-side architecture.
    I need suggestion about sever side architecture:
    a. write a dedicated server-side program, which act
    as communication server to monitor and control field
    panel, also act as server-side applicaiton by using
    RMI to communicate with Client-side communication.
    b. choose a general web server architecture. Put
    everything in server side in Web Server, for example
    Tomcat AS container, implementing the Communication
    server as Web Service and the request from
    Client-side go to Web Server first, then dispatch to
    a proper web service.Why did you not include this information in the original question!
    Why don't you just use Tomcat?
    For your answer, "Why don't you just use Tomcat?", does it mean Tomcat without Web Service will be enough for this system development? Could you give me some detail about it?
    Thank you very much, zadok.
