http://formlayoutmaker.sourceforge.net/ The above URL is a cool idea. Much like Synth is a L&F that reads its settings from XML, the above reads a Layout Manager's settings from XML. The benefit for us is that it makes the layout manager creator a module business and removes IDE-specific code from the source-code. Right now we inject form-editor code and it makes it difficult to migrate between IDEs. This would allow users to use one editor for the code and another for the form editor. Can we please move towards standard modular XML settings for the layout managers? Thank you, Gili
