SwingLabs Wiki

This is the Wiki for the SwingLabs project on java.net. We are moving Wiki content from its old home under JDNC.

Want to help us out? Got questions? Check out our SwingLabs Frequently Asked Questions

Project Home Pages

For each project we list include links to the project home page, mailing lists, and forums. Currently, SwingX, DataBinding, JDNC and the JDNC Incubator all share the same mailing list and forum, since they all originally belonged to the older JDNC project. Be sure to check out the mailing list archives in each case, as a lot of discussion has taken place on the development and design of the various sub-projects.

Issues should be posted against the project to which the issue belongs; this is new as of August 2005--before, JDNC-derived projects had their issues logged against JDNC.
