Hi, Allen Holub (a.k.a. Dr. Evil) wrote-up an article titled "Create client-side user interfaces in HTML: Make the JEditorPane useful" for Java World. Allen writes: HTML is a wonderful thing. It lets you lay out complicated user interfaces with a minimum of fuss; it does a great job of separating UI structure and layout from business logic; it's easy to write; and it's easy to maintain. Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT)/Swing layout is, in contrast, annoyingly difficult to use. You must modify (and recompile) code to change the look of your screens, and the code for a trivial layout is itself nontrivial, extending to many pages. Wouldn't it be nice if you could specify your entire client-side user interface in HTML?
