Re: Form inheritance in NetBeans

I have read your posts you stated below. If anyone asks how this feature
should behave, look at Delphi, which has form inheritance many many years
and it is very well designed. Or even .NET Windows Forms do have form
inheritance.

IMHO if Sun wants to encourage developers to do real desktop applications in
Java, then form inheritance is a must. Otherwise the maintenance of bunch of
forms in such an application is a nightmare. Maybe anyone knows another
approach which could help now - please share your best practices ...
