    The Forms framework helps you lay out and implement 

    elegant Swing panels quickly and consistently. 

    It makes simple things easy and the hard stuff possible,

    the good design easy and the bad difficult.


     


     The JGoodies Forms requires Java 7 or later

     and the JGoodies Common library.

     Library versions for older Java versions are available in the 

     JGoodies Archive.

	 

     

Tutorial

     

     Tutorial examples including sources can be found in

     the JGoodies Smart Client Showcase that you can download or web start from 

     the

    JGoodies Demo Downloads

    page.

	

	 

	
Open Issue

	

    There's a weakness in the FormLayout that may require an API extension.

    Components that span multiple columns or rows do not affect

    the column width or row height resp., 

    but can in some cases expand the container.


    I'm looking for a means to let the layout grid honor these components

    that is both powerful and easy to understand. 

    See the FAQ for details and a workaround.


	
Acknowledgements

	

	The Forms project has been financed by Johannes Riege, 

	and customers of the 

	JGoodies Smart Client. 

	It is only with their money that I can provide, maintain, and improve 

	this library at no charge.


    


	FormLayout has been inspired by Mullet&Sano's grid system,

	Daniel Barbalace's TableLayout, Daniel Michalik's HIGLayout, 

	and Doug Stein's GridBagLayout. The concept of dialog units 

	stems from Microsoft user interface implementations.
