architecture
The DCI Architecture is a New Vision of Object Oriented Programming. How does that fit in the NetBeans Platform? Well, my take is that it's a perfect fit!
A fine entry on software architecture by a Big Gorilla, and my take on software architects

Impressive stuff at [vdblog](http://blogs.sun.com/vdblog/entry/part_1_xml_multiview_visual), showing how to use the NetBeans Visual Graph Library and NetBeans multiview editors!

NetBeans Editor Library is a cool library! Why not (re) use it in your Swing applications?
A quick look at NetBeans Syntax Highlighting, and to NetBeans Module Installers.
Fonts, colors, key bindings, caret blink rate and more. Persisted. With a single class. This rocks!
I have cooked a part of the editor for Scheme Files using the NetBeans Platform. And while doing so I've found some delicious editor libs!

[An impressive Swing application](http://nexvu.com/monarch_tour/) that has been the subject in a recent thread in the SwingX mailing list.
So as promised I tried to build a NetBeans module that allows you to visually choose icons and... I almost got it working.
Building Swing icon sets (and a Swing Icon Viewer!) with... properties files? Why not? After all icon designers don't need to know Java. They're doing an excellent job building icons, so I don't see a reason why they should know Java. A small Java Web Start demo is included.
Icons are very important for creating user interfaces. What about icon sets for Swing? I'm tired of having to google, download, pack and use icons for my Swing applications. Things should be easier. I'd like to visually select icons in NetBeans. What about building some icon themes for Swing that we can swap at runtime? And... what about a NetBeans module?

After some short holidays, I have been doing some little improvements in TreeWrapper, an easy to use wrapper that allows for drag and drop on JTrees. Improvements include support for JDK 1.4, better handling of popup menus, better performance, support for disabled trees and some other minor things. To verify that everything is working I built a simple to use OPML editor, that you can use to arrange your RSS feeds into categories.
Are you looking for the JavaOne slides, but you did not download them while you had the chance? [Wilfred Springer](http://www.agilejava.com/blog/) has grouped and posted them.
I don't mean you have to wrap your [car around a tree like this](http://www.wreckedexotics.com/newphotos/bad/bad637.shtml). I'm talking of JTrees and Drag and Drop support.
I'm still doing some research on lightweight persistence for my desktop applications. I've been exploring JDBM in further detail: I'm able to do m:n relationships without too much hassle.
I've been traveling a lot lately. It's been one week in La Coruña and two other weeks at Lisbon. And, well, I've learned a lot. During these three weeks I've been gently introduced to Sun Java Studio Creator, I've learned a lot about MySQL internals, I've realized how people tend to not follow the KISS principle, I've experienced SwingX components inside NetBeans, I've met great friends at Lisbon and, most importantly, I've realized how much people need a good binding mechanism for Swing applications. Now it's time to have a rest in Madrid for three days. A rest? Well, we have Java Expo 2006, Sun Tech Days and... the NetBeans World Tour!!
Experiments with JDBM
I'm afraid I'll insist in desktop persistence without RDBMS in this entry (and maybe in a few others).
Will you bundle a full RDMBS with your GUI applications? How are you persisting the model in your desktop applications? What are the trends in this area?
