After some technical talks and some more researching and testing with the JGoodies LooksPro Suite, i ve come to the conclusion that a lot of stuff inside this package is coded very well and the idea behind is just good. Its not only the look&feel which makes JGoodies apps look like sophisticated Windows applications, but also the way of handling things like layouts and dispatching best practices.

Also damn interessting were the tech talks with Karsten Lentzsch, the author of the jgoodies packages. He seems to be one of the most dedicated Frontend developers around. Hopefully he will be more involved with J2SE/Swing in the future, i think even the Swing team at sun could use some insights from karsten.

BTW my very own application is beginning to see the ray of lights and using JGoodies makes it look very pretty.
