Hi all, One of the things I have been focusing on for Pivot 2.0 is trying to make it easier for Swing developers to transition to Pivot. For example, DesktopApplicationContext now supports multiple (optionally modal) top-level frame windows, and it is now much easier to use Pivot components within an existing Swing application:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pivot/trunk/examples/src/org/apache/pivot/examples/displays/ http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pivot/trunk/examples/src/org/apache/pivot/examples/swing/ Another idea I had was to create a "Pivot" L&F for Swing. This L&F would mimic the appearance of the Terra theme, to help provide visual consistency for applications that use both Pivot and Swing. I also thought it might be useful to provide adapter classes for Swing model data (primarily ListModel, TableModel,TreeModel, and SpinnerModel). These would allow developers to begin using Pivot components without needing to rewrite all of their application internals. What do you think? Would such features be useful to a Swing developer? Might they help convince developers to consider moving applications from Swing to Pivot? Thanks for your feedback, Greg
