Thus, creating a GUI in SWT means that you'll be able to reuse that code to create almost any kind GUI. You want to deploy your GUI as a rich fat-client application? Use the Eclipse RCP. You want to deploy your application As a rich thin-client application? use rswt. you want to deploy your application as an html / javascript based gui That Can Run in a Browser? Use rui: http: // www. Cortext.co.il/java_server.html. You get the idea, you can do almost anything with a gui written in sw.
At any rate, what I am trying to bring to the table is what appears everyone here wants, an eclipse style pluggable UI Framework with a Swing UI. I am working on my own UI layer, but I am open for people to help out on That Area! The More We Get, The Faster We Can Get It Done.
