I want to develop forms in Java. Does Eclipse IDE provide functionality
for rapid development of UI Components(Swings) like drag and drop
functionality of components, form editor... as in JBuilder.
If yes how to use such a feature.
Thanks,

No plans yet... I've got a demo at work next week (unrelated to
Penumbra), and after that things free up a bit. I'm taking two weeks off
at the start of Sept and plan to dedicate that time to Penumbra.
For the initial release, I'm going to concentrate on just AWT/Swing.
I'll be able to support SWT with the same framework, but I want to get
something out as soon as possible.
I've also been thinking about how the same framework should be able to
support WYSIWYG for HTML, JSP, JSF, Struts w/ pageflows, etc. quite
easily. Not in the initial release, but they should be pretty easy add-
ins, whether I or someone else creates them.
I've been spending a lot of time on the property sheet -- the default
eclipse property sheet isn't flexible enough for some of the things I
want to do, so I've made a copy and extended it. Once I get it "just
right" I'll see if there's any way I can either merge it with the
original or provide it as an alternative opensource property sheet
implementation.
<rant>
I really wish folks wouldn't make so many classes & methods in Eclipse
non-public or final -- I only needed to modify a couple of classes, but
due to the non-public nature of many of the involved classes I had to
copy about 10 classes into my own package... See my "Rules of Reuse"
article at http://javadude.com/articles for more on this. If it's in an
"internal" package, that's already warning that it may change, and if I
depend on it, it's my problem if it changes, so why not just leave it
open to begin with?
No need to reply to this rant, and not intended as flamebait -- just
venting... Grr Arg
</rant>
Hopefully after the first two weeks of Sept I'll at least be able to
post some screen shots (I still want to keep some stuff secret for now).
Take care,
-- Scott
