Announcing SwingPad 0.3 - No Fluff Just Stuff

Announcing SwingPad 0.3

Posted by: Andres Almiray on July 16, 2009

In case you don't follow Griffon's account on twitter -> (@theaviary) here is some great news: Griffon 0.1.2 is out! that means a new release of SwingPad is available too, get the IzPack based universal installer for version 0.3 and take it for a spin. You'll find the following features on this version:
  • Supported builders out of the box: SwingBuilder 1.6.3, SwingxBuilder 0.1.6, JideBuilder 2.2, FlamingoBuilder 0.2, MacWidgetsBuilder 0.2, SwingxtrasBuilder 0.1, CSSBuilder 0.2, TridentBuilder 0.1, TrayBuilder 0.1.1
  • Sample scripts demonstrating builder capabilities.
  • You'll now be able to style Swing components via CSS.
  • Hit Ctrl+SPACE for a list of node name suggestions.
  • Help dialog with a list of available nodes.
All these plus a few things more in roughly 1600 LOCs
