• Introducing the JDesktop Integration Components by Michael Abernethy   - [Clicks: 44]
  This article introduces the JDesktop Integration Components (JDIC), an open source project that's building components that bridge the gap between native applications and their Java counterparts. JDIC's single Java API lets your applications tap into native OS features while maintaining cross-platform support. It currently offers native Web browser (Internet Explorer or Mozilla) support, system tray support, file-extension integration, and other desktop features.

• Introduction to Tables with JDesktop Network Components (JDNC) by Daniel H. Steinberg   - [Clicks: 33]
  Think of all the routine, boilerplate code you write to create, configure, and display common Swing components. For instance, consider all the things you need to do to display data in a table. The JDesktop Network Components (JDNC) project aims to make it easier for you to produce rich data-centric Java Desktop clients. In this tip you will use JDNC to read tab-separated data from a file and display it in a table. You will put headings on the columns and select a subset to display. You will then filter the rows to display only those rows that meet a specific condition. Finally, you will sort this list and decorate alternating rows in different colors.

• JDNC simplifies Java UI development by Jack Li Guojie   - [Clicks: 25]
  JDNC is an open source project that aims to make Java UI development easier. It offers a number of prebuilt components that provide functionality that many developers have to laboriously add to their Swing widgets. But perhaps more interestingly, it also provides data binding features that might change the way you link your data to your interfaces. In this hands-on tutorial, Java UI developer Jack Li Guojie guides you through using JDNC Swing Extensions to improve your Java UI without changing much of your existing code. You'll also see how to simplify your data-centric Java UI development by taking advantage of JDNC data binding and the DataSet API.
