I maintain a Java Swing application. For backwards compatibility with java 5 (for Apple machines), we maintain two codebases, 1 using features from Java 6, another without those features. The code is largely the same, except for 3-4 classes that uses Java 6 features. I wish to just maintain 1 codebase. Is there a way during compilatio...

While we try to set up as many unit tests as time allows for our applications, I always find the amount of UI-level tests lacking. There are many options out there, but I'm not sure what would be a good place to start. What is your preferred unit testing tool for testing Swing applications? Why do you like it? Thanks! ...
Are there any good books or website that go over creating a JTable? I want to make one column editable.

I have the JFC Swing Tut...

What options are there for building automated tests for GUIs written in Java Swing? I'd like to test some GUIs which have been written using the NetBeans Swing GUI Builder, so something that works without requiring special tampering of the code under test would be ideal. ...

My boss loves VB (we work in a Java shop) because he thinks it's easy to learn and maintain. We want to replace some of the VB with java equivalents using the Eclipse SWT editor - because we think it is almost as easy to maintain. To sell this - we'd like to use an aerith style L&F. Can anyone provide an example of an SWT application s...
Obviously the Java API reference, but what else is there that you all use? I've been doing web development my entire career. Lately I've been messing around a lot with Groovy and I've decided to do a small application in Griffon just to experiment more with Groovy and also break some ground in desktop development. The only thing is ...
Hello, I would like to create an application wide keyboard shortcut for a Java Swing application. Looping over all components and adding the shortcut on each has focus related side effects and looks like a brute force solution. Anyone has a cleaner solution ? Regards, Louis ...

Before you answer: Yes I have read the jtable tutorial over at Sun. No, it did not help me. Yes, I am a dolt. Please don't answer with a reference to that document. What I am specifically interested in is how to dynamically add rows and columns to my Jtable via the Netbeans IDE. I already have an object that contains a hashmap with my da...

I am using jProfiler to find memory leaks in a Java swing application. I have identified instances of a JFrame which keeps growing in count. This frame is opened, and then closed. Using jProfiler, and viewing the Paths to GC Root there is only one reference, 'JNI Global reference'. What does this mean? Why is it hanging on to each ins...
Java supplies standard User Interface guidelines for applications built using Java Swing. The basic guidelines are good, but I really feel the look and feel is really boring and outdated. Is anyone aware of a publicly available Java User Interface Guide that has better look & feel guidelines than the Sun provided guidelines? ...
Hey guys. I have a quick question. How do I get the image generated by a JComponent.paint or paintComponent? I have a JComponent which I use as a 'workspace' and where I have overwritten the paintComponent method to my own. The thing is that my workspace JComponent also has children which has their own paintComponent methods. So when ...
