Hi, good talk this evening. I thought I'd mention Foxtrot (http://foxtrot.sourceforge.net/) which is an interesting alternative to SwingWorker. Our current app uses both but there are places where foxtrot seems to fit better.
Our app is an MDI one based on JDesktopPane which was really ugly in its window minimize/maximize behavior. I cobbled together various bloggers code to create a passable JTaskbar (http://www.guydavis.ca/log/comments.jsp?id=893) and a Windows menu item that does a decent of making MDI usable.
However, each of our main MDI windows (6 or 7 currently) is a mix of split panes and tabbed panes. I'll definitely have to give Flexdock a look to see if it can improve our layouts on JInternalFrames.
Hey thanks for the comments Guy.
There are a lot of good bits out there. Let's hope SwingX does a good job of pulling the best bits together into a coherent framework that can be somewhat standardized.
