Nice set of links.
Btw, any reason why you call it “Swings”? To me it has always been “Java Swing”.

Comment by ranganaths November 3, 2006 @ 5:37 amOk one thing which i really dont like about Netbeans is that the generated code in Matisse is not editable. Is it possible to make it editable which can reflect on the Matisse GUI builder? plz let me know. Thats one thing which is stopping me to use Netbeans.
I have seen Matisse go bonkers when I edited the locked lines in an external editor. But there are enough easy ways to do customizations.
What problem are you facing exactly?
