As f...@Cristian: Glad you enjoyed the Devoxx talks.<br />As far as developing a Swing widget library, it depends on what your purpose is. I know the Jide team and components; good stuff. But it seems like a difficult business model. So if you just want to build some for yourself, go for it. But if you're trying to build a business on it, I'm not sure there's a lot of potential there for someone new.<br />I do still believe in Swing; it's just as powerful and flexible as it was when we wrote Filthy Rich Clients. However, it's not being as actively developed within the JDK as it was and is not suitable for mobile development, so it's in more of a niche than some other GUI toolkits. Many developers still use it happily in the meantime.Chet Haasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03250991041464602854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6843566830671277353.post-11256957251323440162010-12-04T09:35:22.370-08:002010-12-04T09:35:22.370-08:00Jide is the name of the company...

Something like we see today in web frameworks like (SmartGwt,ExtGwt,Flex less but anyway more then Swing) ,Jsf - Primefaces,RichFaces,OpenFaces...)<br />There is one company that has that which is Jade as far as i know.<br />However i should have asked first:<br />do you still belive in Swing.<br />THanksCristiannoreply@blogger.com
