posted Thursday, 11 August 2005
Between the wonderful JavaLobby "Java Tips & Tricks" site and the various projects on java.net including the SwingLabs project - it is becoming increasingly clear that there is a very strong Swing renaissance that is in progress. You can notice this by looking at the online resource found at JavaLobby, java.net and a wide range of other developer sites where you can find lots of new articles on the topic.   I'm in the middle of updating the Swing Pointers and I am pleasantly surprised by what  I am seeing - a significant number of nice tips and articles on  Enhanced Scrolling Article
Swing.  Hans Muller highlights the fact that 20 million  Brazilian tax payers are using a Swing application.  Let's take a quick look at some of the great projects that are happening :
