So today while I was cleaning out the garage, I finally got a chance to the listen to the Java Posse podcast on Google Collections and GlazedLists. Google Collections has come in handy a few times, the MultiMap extension most notably. It solves essentially the same kind of problem that I described way back in […]

If you’re coming late to the party (and would like to know just what the heck I’m talking about) you can catch up by reading this and this. So the SwingX demo has 3 sliders that affect integer values on the JXBusyLabel. Using the Groovy […]
The first demonstration panel in the SwingLabs demo is for the JXBusyLabel, a simple component that does exactly what it says – inform Users of the application that progress is occurring. The setup is highly configurable, allowing changes to the color, shape and size of the rendered label. The SwingX demonstration makes use of an […]

To make it a little more interesting, I’m going to base it off of the SwingX version. The SwingX widgets have been a pleasure to work with in the past, and with the swingX plugin, it […]
Documentation up until now has been sparse to be sure, but judging by the first two chapters of the MEAP for Griffon in Action, this book is going to be worth every penny. I’ve experimented a bit with Griffon a bit lately, but still being somewhat of a Groovy noob, I don’t think that the […]
