hi,
i hv been searching for hours for some readymade java swings codes...but cant find them...can anyone help?

I m new to swings and wanted to see some sample projects done in swings so as to get a real idea of swings...as right now i hv learnt theory...now i want to practise.

Thanks,

mohit

yea if all your looking for is source code, go to www.deitel.com and to their download page. They have the best java book around, and offer free downloads to all the source code in their book.

now if you are new in Java, you sould have a look at www.java.sun.com! For beginners its often difficult to find the right tutorials and documentations but its worth to spend some time ind searching on this site!

You can also find some programming samples on this site with the comple sourcecode.

www.javaranch.com/ should also have some codes!

Some of my bookmarks -
http://javaboutique.internet.com/ - a good site for all things java

http://jars.developer.com/ - there are many basic swing apps listed here

www.onjava.com - Oreilly's Java page. This is the place to go for good advise on many specific situations - sometimes Sun's explanations on java.sun.com are a bit to convoluted for my taste.

However, make sure you download the api docs at http://java.sun.com/docs/index.html. It is a large download, but it is worth it to have the api docs right there. They are the "bible" of JAVA.

Yes, Swing is included with the basic J2SDK offered free by Sun.

Yes, you do want JDK1.5 if you don't have it already, if for no other reason than the rotten default "look and feel" of pre-JDK1.5 Swing applications.

ACHTUNG!!! Do NOT EVER buy any books from deitel, unless you want to use them as a weapon (they are bloody HEAVY)! I think authors at Deitel are paid by the page, so they are just trying to write as much as they can! Deitel books are simply worthless as reference books, useful information gets lost in tons of rubbish, insignificant information and poor humour! Use O'Reilly books instead, they are so much more compact and useful...
