* Package name : libforms-java Version : 1.0.5 Upstream Author : Karsten Lentzsch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : https://forms.dev.java.net/ * License : BSD Description : framework helping you lay out and implement elegant Swing panels quickly and consistently The FormLayout has been designed to be powerful, flexible, precise and easy to learn and understand. It can significantly reduce the time to describe a form and to fill it with components. The layout manager introduces a unique layout feature: it honors the screen resolution and dialog font size to retain the layout proportions in different environments. . Also, we have seperated the layout task from the panel construction. Therefore we provide a set of non-visual builders that assist you in defining common panel layouts and in filling a form with components. The JGoodies Forms ships with general purpose builders and builders for specialized layout tasks. For example, the DefaultFormBuilder helps you build forms with one, two, three, or four columns. The ButtonBarBuilder specializes in building button bars. . On top of these non-visual builders the JGoodies Forms provides factories that create the most frequently used layouts, panels, bars and stacks. We recommend to use the factory methods whenever possible; future releases may map a logical panel creation to a concrete creation method that honors the platform and look&feel, for example the Mac vs. Windows button bar layout, where Mac has the default button in the right hand side and Windows in the left. .
