Eclipse Icon Archive Tool
The Eclipse Icon Archive Tool allows an Eclipse user to browse and export icons from the Eclipse Project. Download the plug-in and place it into the Eclipse plug-in directory. The plug-in and documentation is available on the download page.
Spin is a transparent threading solution for non-freezing Swing applications.
Swing is the standard component architecture for developing Java desktop applications. Its exhaustive collection of widgets is the foundation for easy development of rich graphical user interfaces (GUI).
Alas every non trivial GUI sooner or later encounters the problem of "freeze". This annoying behaviour is experienced by users every time the application performs extensive calculations or blocks for network or disk I/O.
We will explain the reason for this problem and explore different techniques to prevent Swing GUIs from "freezing". We will present our project named Spin which offers a - to our knowledge - revolutionary new approach. It offers a solution for transparent thread handling with minimal impact on your application code.
Abeille Forms Designer is a GUI builder for Java applications. Developers and designers can create complex, professional forms in minutes. Designers can drag and drop components onto a WYSIWYG editor. Full support for undo/redo and copy/paste is provided. Components can be easily customized by adding images or modifying their properties. Advanced fill effects are supported such as textures and gradients.
Abeille has intuitive layout rules and is based on the JGoodies FormLayout system (https://forms.dev.java.net). The FormLayout is a popular, open source layout manager for Java and is used by thousands of developers worldwide. Abeille comes with all the required software.
Abeille stores forms in binary files which can be loaded by your application and added to any Swing container. While the designer is licensed under the LGPL, the forms runtime has a BSD license. This allows forms created by the designer to be used freely in commercial applications.

Swing has lot of components built-in but still some are missing. This project provides the developer community with these missing components, components inspired (copied?!) from modern user interfaces.
The Riena platform will be the foundation for building multi-tier enterprise client/server applications. As such Riena will broaden the usage of the service oriented architecture of OSGi/Equinox by providing access to local and remote services in a transparent way. Using this uniform programming model, the components of Riena and the business components of the enterprise application can be developed regardless of their target location. Components are later easily placed on client or server depending on the business requirements.
As an example the Riena user interface components will support a business process oriented user interface visualization and navigation metaphor which can be used as alternative to the default workbench layout.
Swing Explorer is a tool for Swing developers intended for visual exploring of Swing-based application internals. It finds all windows in explored Swing application and displays their component hierarchies as a tree. Each component in the tree can be displayed in the Swing Explorer's work area and visually inspected. Swing Explorer helps to determine sub-components when user moves mouse over them and provides additional information about currently selected component (layout, size, coordinates, border and other things). Additionally it allows to view basic graphical operations used to draw swing components like DebugGraphics does, but in more convenient way.
The goal of this project is to provide a small and cohesive set of powerful UI components that allow creating modern applications that provide visual functionality similar to or superseding that of Vista Explorer and Office 2007. The components provide consistent visuals under the existing core and third-party look-and-feels, respect the DPI settings of the user desktop and follow the core Swing guidelines in the external APIs and the internal implementation details.The component suite includes:
* Layer for defining and using resizable icons
* Command button component
* Command button panel component
* File viewer panel component
* Breadcrumb bar component
* Ribbon component
The project is licensed under BSD license and requires JDK 6.0
OpenSwing is an open-source suite of advanced graphics components based on Swing toolkit: these components are more sophisticated of those provided with Swing and can be manipolated directly inside the UI designer of the IDE.
It is also a framework that provides data binding mechanism between components and data model, based on the MVC paradigm. Data model is based on Java Beans (POJOs) and it is supported in all OpenSwing components, such as Grid control or components container.
Pedro is an application that creates data entry forms based on a data model written in a particular style of XML Schema. Users can enter data through the forms to create data files that conform to the schema. They can use controlled vocabularies to mark-up text fields and have the application perform basic validation on field data. When they feel they have finished writing a data file, Pedro can tell them if they have left out any required records.
Overview
Vexi is a platform for creating and publishing Graphical User Interfaces that can be used over the Internet or an intranet. It features a very simple and powerful syntax based on xml and javascript, a set of complete, extensible, themable widgets, and a sandbox-like security model to protect users.
Why Vexi?
Vexi is designed to overcome the flaws of other Internet application platform implementations.
Vexi applications are written in a combination of XML and JavaScript. The XML layout makes UI structure simple to understand, and the JavaScript provides a powerful way of manipulating a UI to make it dynamic. Do not confuse JavaScript with the HTML DOM - the latter gives JavaScript a bad name because of it’s over complicated nature. JavaScript is very easy to understand and work with. And whilst XML is a far reaching standard, the context in which it is put into practise with Vexi makes it very easy to understand and work with.
The goal of this project is to provide a configurable and customizable production-quality Java look and feel library for Swing applications. This Java look and feel is available for JDK 5.0+ only.
