If you´re a Java developer looking to build enterprise applications with a first-class look and feel, Swing is definitely one skill you need to master. This latest title from O´Reilly is a reference to the cool stuff in Swing. It´s about the interesting things you learn over the years--creative, original, even weird hacks--the things that make you say, "I didn´t know you could even do that with Swing!" Swing Hacks will show you how to extend Swing´s rich component set in advanced and sometimes non-obvious ways. The book touches upon the entire Swing gamut-tables, trees, sliders, spinners, progress bars, internal frames, and text components. Detail is also provided on JTable/JTree, threaded component models, and translucent windows. You´ll learn how to filter lists, power-up trees and tables, and add drag-and-drop support. Swing Hacks will show you how to do fun things that will directly enhance your own applications. Some are visual enhancements to make your software look better. Some are functional improvements to make your software do something it couldn´t do before. Some are even just plain silly, in print only to prove it could be done.
