However, it would be missing the pretty notification effects he is displaying.
Swing Scalability I may not post on a regular basis as I have been busy reading other peoples blogs. So much stuff, so little time. One of the interesting discussions is about Swing and SWT. Don't have links handy, should be easy to find. The perennial criticism of Swing is that it is slow. Again, there are plenty of articles and blogs, so I won't repeat what has already been said elsewhere. Instead, I'll show you an example of a performance issue and how I tried to solve it in Swing.
Some time ago I talked about a set of progress components. I thought I knew of all (most) of the commands in my app that take a long time and made use of the component therein. Then I realized that are still more commands which are not so obvious, as their initial performance may seem fine (quick)...
