Description
SwingSet2 has grown a little long in the tooth.
In particular it should:
. Illustrate best practices for using Swing.
. Have the ability to show all widgets in all states.
. Be localized.
. Ability to easily extract small snippets of code for use by customers.

Agreed, this is a very worthwhile project.

I'm in the process of writing SwingSet3, which will be a completely
new demo application that highlights all widgets and makes it much
easier to understand the code to create/use each widget.

SwingSet2 is being replaced with SwingSet3 and Laffy demo applications. The old SwingSet2 application had 2 roles: 

  - Example code to help new Swing developers
  - Testing aid for testing components and look and feels

It has been decided that these two roles will be better served by two demo applications. SwingSet3 will show nice worked examples of how to do things in Swing and Laffy will act as a component and look and feel test bed. Rather than adding the src and binaries for the new demos into the JDK they will have html readme files with links to the online open source projects and links to webstart jnlp files to run them. This allows them to move forward faster then the JDK release cycle in the hope to be more current and better help developers.

Thanks in advance

Why is this marked as fixed when SwingSet3 is still a private project at java.net and Laffy still has template content on its main page?



PLEASE NOTE: JDK6 is formerly known as Project Mustang
