SWIRL 1.1 - Welcome

This Java library provides several class files that enhance the Swing library. Please refer to the Javadoc for more information.

Currently Swirl provides support for:

A framework to easily build menus from configuration files (new since Swirl 1.1) More information about this new feature can be found in the MenuBuilder tutorial.
Internationalized actions and buttons.
Some general purpose actions to show/hide windows and load/save files.
Undo/redo management.
Simple dialog panels.
Drag and drop of Java objects.
'Cell' lists, a special kind of JList in which items are represented by icons and labels, arranged in a grid.
A log handler that displays messages in a list.
Mouse overlay panels.
Collapsible subwindows.
Table column decorations.
A 'classpath:' URL handler.
...

This library was originally intended for use as part of the GrInvIn project, but has since also been used in other (local) projects.

Dependencies

All classes are targeted to Java 5.0.

The menu builder uses JDOM to parse the configuration files.

Developers

Current development: Kris Coolsaet
