Basic but yet informative tutorial on Swing app development. The one new thing I’ve learn about is FoxTrot. Java newbies should take a look at it.
The link doesn’t work in Konqueror nor Firefox (on SuSE 9.2). Konqueror shows nothing. Firefox shows a menu and a scrollable empty window. But no flash in either. Flash works on other pages in both.
it does’nt work in konquer and only half screen in firefox, but works fine in opera.
i’m using suse 9.2
i think this is a flash-linux issue, it works fine in windows- firefox 1
it’s the old getBytesLoaded() actionscript bug, this function is used mostly on preloaders, but it borks on most browsers other then IE.
You’re saying actionscript bug. I googled it – it’s flash language? Then how come it works in Opera but not Konqueror and FireFox – they share the same flash plugin?
I was just told that the site “sucks” but that it also works in Konqueror if the browser identification is changed to Mozilla 1.6.
It doesn’t work for me (opera 8 beta), works on firefox and IE

I can confirm that, I just finished watching it in Konqi 3.3.1.
It only worked after changing the browser identification.
works fine in windows and firefox
That was a great tutorial. Very well done.

now it also works here – konqueror 3.3.2

It covers
* How to make Swing apps look good using alternate look and feels, with links to several sites
* Helper classes such as Packer that make it astoundlingly easy to use GridBagLayout in code
* The SwiXML project, allowing you to specify Swing GUIs in XML (like XAML basically), cutting down code even further.
There is Spin, which is on the Author’s original presentation, but was omitted because he doesn’t like its mechanism.
Great article.
But can’t understand the difference about Foxtrot and Spin.
Worked for me by switching the UAgent string to Netscape 4.8 (brrr) on Windows XP (brrr).
