The SwingLabs SwingX Project

• navigate to the Hudson Dashboard (Note: the old Hudson Dashboard is outdated due to a server breakdown, don't use)
• Click on SwingX-Continous Build
• choose the artefact you want

• The javadoc coverage varies ... wildly, nevertheless we try to improve continously. Some contain example code in the class doc. So risking an eye at the latest version occasionally might be a good idea.
• SwingX source builds come with simple demos, under the src/demo directory
• SwingX source builds have a src/test directory: besides the typical unit test (postfix: "Test") there are classes to exercize the visual components (postfix: "VisualCheck"). Technically they are unit tests with a main to run as an application. Doing so will call all or a subset of the methods named "interactiveXX") which typically creates and shows a frame with some aspect of a SwingX component. Reading that code might give an overview of recommended practice.
• Change History
• SwingLabs Demos project - is dedicated to show off its subprojects in a grander style ... unfortunately it's a bit ... neglected
• Community contributions in jdnc-incubator - there is lots of great SwingLabs related code of various community members
• SwingX Tutorials on developerlife.com - lots of in-depth tutorials on SwingX, timingframework, animated transitions, Swing multithreading, etc.
