Hey all, I know this is off topic, sorry. Always interested in SWT/Swing arguments, and I have seen thinlets a couple of times. The site is a bit hard to follow. So I am hoping Wolf, and anyone else who knows, you don't mind answering a couple questions? Thinlets, as i understand it is a GUI replacement for swing/swt, is that correct? >From what I can tell, it looks like the thinlets api has all the normal widgets. Does it support tables and trees? If so, to what extent are they like the swing versions? Do they support swappable table models, etc? If I were to use thinlets to build an application with, is it fairly robust to handle all types of apps, or is it really geared towards simple apps? How extensible is the api? Can I make my own components, with paint methods, etc? Does it follow the same premise of a main JFrame type of window, and everything else is lightweight? I can add stuff to panels, containers, etc? Does it have a layout manager type of setup? I am interested in using thinlets, especially with my plugin engine to provide a very small, fast UI alternative to using Swing/SWT, but only if it is capable of handling the majority of applications that would be written using Swing/SWT.
