Ask TheServerSide: Is serverside more organized than clientside?
Continuation of my blog post and JavaLobby thread.

Swing: Document and Text Fields could be better.
Excerpt:
I've spent a LOT more time than I should have needed to figuring this stuff out.

I'm trying to restrict the input characters that the user types into a field (JTextField, JComboBox, JSpinner) so that they can't type "abacus" into a field that only takes numbers, for example.

On a JTextField, you can set the Document object to your own custom implementation to control what actually goes into the text field...

MetaVNC - a window aware VNC
MetaVNC pursues a remote desktop environment that users can control applications on different hosts seamlessly. MetaVNC is a window aware VNC. MetaVNC merges windows of multiple remote desktops into a single desktop screen. MetaVNC also comes with its own task bar and application menu, which makes it easy to control applications or windows on different hosts.

UltraSwing Component Library
UltraSwing is a 100% Swing-based Java GUI library. It provides easy-to-use components that allow you to create polished, modern GUI applications. With this library, you can easily add advanced features, such as docking/floating, Outlook type side menu, to your GUI projects.

JTableView
is is a java swing gui component extends JTable who provide additional services: column hide, search, sort, auto resize column, save settings in xml file, better object oriented model than JTable.

Alternating row colors in JTable
This is a good example of a Swing problem that is hard to easily solve.

Excerpt:
If you look at iTunes, the rows in the table are striped, and the stripes fill the whole table area even when there isn't enough data to fill the table.

If you look at a Java application on Mac OS, there are no row stripes in its tables.

You can add your own cell renderer to a JTable to get stripes. The cell renderer sets the row background based on the row number modulo 2. This is a well-known technique. The trouble with this implementation is that if the model doesn't contain enough rows to fill the table's area, there's no reason for the cell renderer to be called on the implied empty rows...
