Advanced GUI with Java Application

843806Aug 3 2009 — edited Aug 3 2009
Hi All,

I would like to build Java standalone Application with an advanced GUI.
I know of three options to build UI in Java: [SWT, Swing and AWT - article|http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/grid/library/os-swingswt/] .

Since this article was written 3 years ago. I was wondering if there is more advance method to develop java application with advanced UI.

Thanks for your help.

Waving the hands vaguely about in the air, muttering an incantation, then finishing with 'presto!'.

The Scrollable interface.

Huhh?
Charts
JFreeChart (probably too specialist to expect in J2SE).
drag & drop trees
drag & drop - grid to grid
AWT supports D'n'D. Whack that onto a JTree or JTable respectively, and it sounds like them.
lazy loading
Do you mean lazy construction of GUI components, or lazy loading or downloading of the classes?

The first is available depending on how you code it (as opposed to how you drag'n'drop it in Matisse).
The second is done automatically by the JVM, AFAIU.
The last is available by deploying using web-start.
