Tutorial on DesignGridLayout: Simple, yet powerful Layoutmanager for arranging swing components

Swing toolkit comes with few standard Layout Managers where none of them serves the need of arranging components in a way that usually developers require. some of them does, but it takes lot of coding time to achieve it. GridBagLayout is the most flexible layout manager available in swing toolkit but their are so many variables that developer has to look after. DesignGridLayout can be a useful LayoutManager to arrange components in less time with very small snippet of code and can still get proper alignment. Layouting with DesignGridLayout is as easy as coding with various GUI Builder tools available in varoius IDEs. Simple program which demonstrates DesignGridLayout: import javax.swing.JButton; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JLabel; import javax.swing.JPanel; import javax.swing.JSeparator; import javax.swing.JTextField; import javax.swing.SwingUtilities; import javax.swing.UIManager; import javax.swing.UnsupportedLookAndFeelException; import net.java.dev.designgr...

Tutorial on JForm: Fill the form with style

After understanding and using swing toolkit, I understood that there is a allot of scope to develop Custom components easily. I have developed a component called JForm which basically a button and its selection pops up a window if it is not visible. Technically the JForm component is a combination of 2 components they are: 1. JButton 2. Window JButton is a API of swing toolkit where as Window is a API of AWT. Behaviour of JForm: JForm is a usual button like JButton. but it is glued to a Window component. this Window takes a JPanel class as an arguments. In the given example has 2 components they are 1. JTextArea 2. JButton [Submit] which are appended to a JPanel.. The below image shows the effect before selecting the JForm: This image shown is the effect after selecting the JForm: the below code is an example which i...

Tutorial on java JColorComboBox: JComboBox as Color Chooser

　 Swing toolkit provides a component called JColorChooser to choose colors. It allows users to select color from multiple color combinations. Some times our application may need simple component with an option to select only basic colors/ less number of color options unlike sepearate dialog with too may color options[JColorChooser]. This JColorComboBox may serve the need. I wanted my color chooser to behave like JComboBox. The popup shows all 12 colors and their names, among all of them one color can be choosen. see the below image. I created two classes 1. JColorComboBox 2. ColorRenderer JColorComboBox extends the JComboBox and ColorRenderer extends JLabel and implements ListCellRenderer. import java.awt.Color; import java.awt.Component; import java.awt.Font; import java.util.Enumeration; import java.util.Hashtable; import javax.swing.*; /** * * @author sharath */ public class JCol...

Evolution of Java Programming Language

Evolution of Java: First of all, The Java programming language and it's tools that we currenly using is not what actually expected. This language started as a project to give solutions for embedded devices, mobile phones and other portable peripherals. Initially, the Java was called Oak. Why it is Oak first..? and Why it transformed to Java...? The team of five technocrats including Dr. James Gosling and also known as Dr. Java, together working on a project, which expected to give solutions on embedded devices, portable smart devices and TV Set top Boxes etc. at Sun Micro Systems. In the process of achieving this solution, at their breaktime, team used to relax with a coffee by having a glimpse on a scenery of Oak tree next to their facility. Once the project has come to conclusion and in the process of giving a title to it, they noticed the Oak trees [Always observing them in their break time], they named this programming language as Oak. Oak Logo Why it transfo...

Tutorial on Java programming language and IDEs

IDE: Integrated Development Environment Integrated development environment, in short IDE is a convenient environment to write, execute and debug the code or programs on a single platform. IDEs support not only writing code smoothly but also provides a provision to write scripts, XML files, simple text files and build scripts like Ant, Maven are few among others. In short IDEs are development environments to execute complete development activities using one application. IDEs and Editors IDEs and Editors fulfills the same purpose. That is writing code. But IDEs are glued or closely works with respective programming language's compilers, runtime environments, profilers and other language specific tools to put developer in a comfortable zone.

Few of the available Software Development Life Cycle Models in short SDLC are Win-Win Model and Waterfall Model etc. These traditional models has different phases of development. 1. Requirements 2. Analysis 3. Design 4. Implementation 5. Test 6. Documentation and 7. Maintenance In SDLC, the above stages are freezed one after the other. If developer is in Design phase and realized that there could be a possibility of change in requirements, then it is not possible to go back one phase and fix in Requirement phase.
