I want to use Swing for developing the GUI of a web based poker game.
I downloaded Eclipse and cut'n pasted a Swing "hello world"
application (just for testing if Eclipse supports Swing). Swing is a
part of the J2EE standard, yes? Anyhow the application run correctly,
showing the Swing components.
My questions:
1) Should I go for some other tool than Eclipse to make my Swing GUI
developement easier?
2) I becomes kind of confused when I read on the net about plugins
that enhances Eclipse with Swing support. I guess they only mean a
plugin that adds the feature of drag'n dropping Swing components to
the workspace? Since compiling and running Swing seems to work fine.
3) Does Eclipse support building GUI:s by drag'n dropping buttons,
sliders etc on a workspace or do I have to get JBuilder to have that?
Coding it all by hand seems like to much work.
thanks
