Improve Swing productivity and experience with AOP Swing experts always say that Swing is neither slow nor ugly. But Swing developers often make slow and ugly applications. It indicates that the Swing API and programming model are difficult to use, especially for novice or causal developers. I have been thinking lately on how to make Swing programming as simple and as intuitive as possible. Well, I think this an area where Aspect Oriented Programming really makes sense. Built upon the pioneer work done by the Open Source Foxtrot project, I implemented a JBoss AOP aspect that greatly simplifies how we write Swing event handlers. I will soon check it into the JBoss AOP aspects library for all to use...
Interesting concept. I was going to look into something like this after the book. Looks like I've been beaten to the punch. I could see this concept expanded to methods that could be threaded off asynchronously. However, that adds it own set of problems such as notifying the user of progress, etc.
