Making NetBeans dance Tango, part I (Swing Icons III) 2006-07-13

So as promised I tried to build a NetBeans module that allows you to visually choose icons and... I almost got it working.

Tango! Mambo! Swing! (Swing Icons II) 2006-06-22

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.

Let's Tango! (Swing icons) 2006-06-15

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?

TreeWrapper updated: arrange your OPML documents! 2006-06-12

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.

Three great weeks... and three great days! 2006-03-20

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!!

Java Closures? Or just functors? Or just confusion? 2006-08-30

Java closures without lexical contexts? Nah, that's just plain functions, nor even functors. What the benefit, then?

Making NetBeans dance Tango, part I (Swing Icons III) 2006-07-13

So as promised I tried to build a NetBeans module that allows you to visually choose icons and... I almost got it working.

Tango! Mambo! Swing! (Swing Icons II) 2006-06-22

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.

Let's Tango! (Swing icons) 2006-06-15

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?

TreeWrapper updated: arrange your OPML documents! 2006-06-12

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.
