The Doolin framework allows the rapid development of Swing applications. It uses the Spring framework as a support for its configuration and extensibility.
Jspresso is an innovative framework for building rich internet applications. Jspresso dramatically reduces the development cycles needed to get your corporate application up and running while not sacrificing quality, robustness and performance. Jspresso is not just another webapp framework. Jspresso based applications offer the exact same ergonomics as desktop applications while keeping an N-tier, server-centric architecture on a java backend. Jspresso-based applications can be deployed either in Adobe's Flex, qooxdoo, WingS, ULC and Swing, all on the same codebase and without a single specific line of GUI code. And last but not least, Jspresso is free.
View providers driven applications(vpda) is java based application framework for building applications composed from server components - view providers. View providers are server components which define user interface and user control. Client platform is just presentation engine, there is never any concrete application logic there. VPDA is 4 tier apllication framework with all needed infrastructure. This means communication between client and server, server management, deployment.
Foxtrot is an easy and powerful API to use threads with the JavaTM Foundation Classes (JFC/Swing).
The Foxtrot API are based on a new concept, the Synchronous Model, that allow you to easily integrate in your Swing code time-consuming operations without incurring in "GUI-freeze" problem, typical of Swing applications.
While other solutions have been developed to solve this problem, being the SwingWorker (see also here for an update) the most known, they are all based on the Asynchronous Model which, for non-trivial Swing applications, carries several problems such as code asymmetry, bad code readability and difficult exception handling.
The Foxtrot API cleanly solves the problems that solutions based on the Asynchronous Model have, and it's simpler to use.
Your Swing code will immediately benefit of:
* code symmetry and readability
* easy exception handling
* improved mantainability
If you're developing a workflow designer, displaying a database, showing the state of your telecommunications network or writing a UML tool, why write your application from scratch when there is JGraphpad Pro?
Abbot helps you test your Java UI. It comprises Abbot, which lets you programmatically drive UI components, and Costello (built on Abbot) which allows you to easily launch, explore and control an application. The framework may be used with both scripts and compiled code.
UISpec4J is an Open Source functional and/or unit testing library for Swing-based Java applications, built on top of the JUnit test harness.
If you are writing a Swing application, you will appreciate UISpec4J above all for its simplicity: UISpec4J's APIs are designed to hide as much as possible the complexity of Swing, resulting in easy to write and easy to read test scripts. This is especially true when comparing UISpec4J tests with those produced using Swing or low-level, event-based testing libraries.
With help of JXLayer you can easily decorate your compound components and catch all Mouse, Keyboard and FocusEvent for all its subcomponents. JXLayer is very friendly to your applications, it uses only public Swing API and doesn't change any global settings like RepaintManager, EventQueue or frame's glassPane. It neither add AWTEventListener to AWT's toolkit.
Contains extensions to the Swing GUI toolkit, including new and enhanced components that provide functionality commonly required by rich client applications. Highlights include:
* Sorting, filtering, highlighting for tables, trees, and lists
* Find/search
* Auto-completion
* Login/authentication framework
* TreeTable component
* Collapsible panel component
* Date picker component
* Tip-of-the-Day component
OpenSwing is an open-source suite of advanced graphics components based on Swing toolkit: these components are more sophisticated of those provided with Swing and can be manipolated directly inside the UI designer of the IDE.
It is also a framework that provides data binding mechanism between components and data model, based on the MVC paradigm. Data model is based on Java Beans (POJOs) and it is supported in all OpenSwing components, such as Grid control or components container.
