It's all Swing based. NB has a class TopComponent which is a JComponent extension (remember JComponent is also a container), but definitely Swing. Other features, such as the Palette, Action management (menus etc), Dialogs (NB has ways of making special dialogs so they work in the NB framework...default buttons etc), are NB libraries. So, in some sense everything is housed in NB libraries, and this is where the NetBeans RCP and IDE libraries come into play, but again, it is all Swing through either an extended kind of a class or the standard ones. For instance, Matisse (form module) provides its own property editors and component editors in different situations to provide a better user experience when designing UIs.

Did Netbeans fully developed on Swing components or its own library component set? Especially, using which component set, the Matisse GUI builder was builded-on? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Is-Netbeans-GUI-designer-fully-made-up-of-Swing-components--tp14556785p14556785.html Sent from the Netbeans - UI mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
