[Jflight-dev] JAVA IDEs

[<rue...@we...>]

Hi everyone,

I have made further tests with JBuilder4 and Forte. I have big problems with 
JB4 to get the existing GUI-parts shown in the GUI-builder correctly. In fact 
only the "about-box" works quite fine. What are your experiences?
I have added another GUI-window now with Forte. Here the window-design 
is stored in a additionally XML-coded file. This seems to be much more 
reliable for me for the future. The GUI-builder, especially the layout 
manager usage is handled much better by Forte compared with JB4. The only 
drawback of Forte is that it crashes occasionally. Save often! It also takes 
a little time to understand the usage and concepts which are a bit different 
than in JB4.
What do you think? Is it possible to go on designing GUIs with Forte? Or 
maybe both tools? Any experiences on Forte?
