@Jody: Sorry, I have no experience with swing testing frameworks. As I told I developed one complex Swing applet which runs only on sun jdk 6. On the other side I appreciate to give developers a Swing starting point and to honor the work done until yet. My vote is a +0 , but only if the modu

Hello all, This is a bit discouraging. As Jody said, the remit was for a minimal module to support the GeoTools examples and cater for the modest but common requests on the user list for basic display. Perhaps another possibility is to just put it in demo ? Not ideal, but better than providing

+0 on graduation, with the lack of unit test coverage being the main problem. The "+" comes from the two unit tests running while not headless. Note that, because these tests exit early when headless, we have 0% test coverage on Hudson, where we use -Djava.awt.headless=true. Swing is a pain to

Hi Christian. When we proposed this module (as a replacement for gt-widgets-swing) the idea was to take it offline to unsupported for a few months and put back only what we ended up using. My understanding was that were were going to focus on examples rather then test coverage and we have

I am with Andrea concerning the test coverage. I am always trying hard to get a good code coverage, investing sometimes more time in creating the the test cases than in the module itself. Additionally, since I developed a Swing applet for showing maps and modifying geometries, I know Swing i
