RE: Using flow layout

But you can't extend the layout system that Swixml uses to use your own custom layout managers without changing the core code.  So you are stuck with only using the swing layouts.

Unlike Thinlet SWIXML doesn't do it's own layout system. It uses Swing 
classes for everything. It supports it exactly as well as the version of 
java you are using supports it.



You can use ANY Swing layout you want. There aren't tags for them but 
there is nothing to stop you from applying a layout in java to the 
objects generated by SWIXML.

There is no "best layout". You use whatever layout is most appropriate 
to the needs of your interface.

again... swixml DOES NOT have ANY layout managers of it's own. It uses 
the layout managers in Swing. All SWIXML does is map XML to Swing 
objects and instantiate those Swing objects with the attributes 
specified in your XML via getters and setters.
