Star Desktop Java with SWT: an interview with Steve Northover

Original OSNews Interviews I've been fortunate enough recently to be in contact with Steve Northover.

To clarify from the outset, the views expressed by Steve are his own and not those of his employer.

Layout managers are important
by Werner on Sat 18th Jun 2005 21:36 UTC

I have not written a UI in years which was not resizable.
The standard JDK layout managers however either are too simplistic or syntactical nightmare overkill (Gridbag )
There however is one which solved most if not all of the standard needs you ever have, that one is the Formlayout by Kasten Lentzsch, possibly, the most powerful and almost easiest to use layout manager in existence.
