Hi,

Does anyone on this list have experience with java (swing) gui-builders
and what would you recommend, if so? It seems Netbeans is the only
option in Portage that I can find, are there other options? I'm looking
for an "easy" way to build a reasonably advanced gui.

Best regards

Peter K

Hi Peter,

I have experiences with Swing UI and I'll suggest NetBeans.

I guess I'll go with that. It's just that it wants to pull in around 100
packages (with only apisupport, ide, java and nb modules)... :-/

Oh, well.

Thanks!

Yes, that's a bit of a pain. I install the binary package from here:
http://netbeans.org/downloads/index.html

Running the installer as an ordinary user installs the whole thing in
~/NetBeans and it even updates itself if you want it to.
