Re: Is it time to abandon SWIXML?

Swixml uses reflection and it treats all the objects the same way.
JInternalFrames get treated no differently. There are many objects whose 
contents you have to fill with java and can't be populated with XML. I 
haven't worked with JInternalFrames so I can't really comment on them 
but I can tell you that if it supports them at all it supports them 
correctly because it is too simple in it's implementation NOT to. That 
simplicity being one of it's main features and the thing that makes it 
work so well and consistently across objects.

I'm not sure what you mean by "the last panel from the XML" so I can't 
really help on that.
