Ever since discovering SwingBuilder and Flamingo I wished both projects could be combined. Time passed as it usually does and no FlamingoBuilder appeared, well this weekend I decided it was enough of the procrastination and kick started the project. The following snapshot shows Flamingo's resizable SVG icon in action, with my new tool of choice for quick Swing prototyping: SwingPad


The builder is far for complete, right now it supports many of Flamingo's icon classes and some members of the JCommandButton family, to wit

• arrowIcon
• decoratedIcon
• emptyIcon
• filteredIcon
• iconDeck
• svgIcon
• wrapperIcon (for both .ico and images)

As a side effect of Flamingo's svgIcon I decided to rename JideBuilder's similar named node as jideSvgIcon to avoid a name clash when both builders are used together, such as it is the case with SwingPad. FlamingoBuilder is yet unreleased but its source code can be inspected from http://svn.codehaus.org/griffon/builders/flamingobuilder/trunk/. As always all feedback is welcome

Keep on Groovying!
