Tutorial: Building Easy Java UIs with Thinlet XUL Toolkit

Hello,

  The Java Boutique has published a tutorial by Keld
Helbig Hansen titled "Building Easy Java UIs with
Thinlet".

  Keld writes:

  Despite the widespread use of Swing for GUI
development, this API can be far too complex for many
simpler tasks. A nifty little tool called Thinlet,
defines the GUI in an XML file, helping to solve this
problem. This series will guide you through Thinlet's
features, demonstrating why this is a very interesting
and useful way to build a user interface. The
accompanying download contains more than 20 small,
working programs through which you can familiarize
yourself with this tool. To be fair, I should note
that Thinlet doesn't provide for every single GUI
feature. Because Thinlet is built upon AWT, it's a
really small system—it's .jar file only uses 38Kbytes!
Even so, you may be surprised at how many features are
packed in this small space.
