You're comparing apples and oranges.. If I'm not mistaken IDEA generates java source code... which is all well and good until you have to tweak it or share ti with someone who doesn't happen to be able to shell out the bucks for IDEA. It also doesn't allow for rapid development. Change XML, reload, test, repeat (note the lack of recompile). NetBeans has had a nice GUI designer for a while now... it still doesn't alleviate the problem of dealing with the horror that is Java SWING code when it comes to maintaining stuff or doing tweaks... I mean it's a pain just to FIND the right place to edit in the first place... never mind the fact the stuff is usually tied in like 6 places... ick. -Kate Wolpe, Paul wrote: > Does anyone have thoughts on Franklin/SwixML vs. the new GUI designer in Intellij IDEA 4? My understanding is IDEAs GUI designer will need a pretty substantial jar to go along with your apps. What about Franklin (someday) + SwixML instead? Are there benifits I am missing to IDEAs approach? > > -Paul > > _______________________________________________ > Forum mailing list > [email protected] > http://carlsbadcubes.com/mailman/listinfo/forum_carlsbadcubes.com > >
