[Nanodesigner-developers] NanoGUI Update

[Fuji H. <fo...@gm...>]

Hi All,

I've made changes to the GUI according to your suggestions.  I
separated the menu actions out into classes, started a working package
structure, put the MVC framework classes into their own package, and
cleaned up the visual appearance of the GUI to look like the specs
from NanoWiki with tool panels and status bar and such.  I had a hard
time getting the Java Look and Feel Graphics to work based on putting
the jar file into my classpath, so excuse my hacky attempt at just
placing the graphics into a directory with the code.

I've been using Eclipse 3.0.1 for my IDE and it seems to work very
good so far, I haven't tried using Netbeans yet.  And I didn't bother
to setup a CVS or Subversion server yet, so I've just been placing the
zips on my website.

There's my latest build.  Let me know if the link works and if the
java code compiles, runs, etc.  Any comments and/or suggestions are
welcome.  I plan on getting the splash screen to work next and
possibly integrate a "Hello World" JOGL (GLCanvas) program into the 3D
Panel Swing View to see how that works.

Oh and one last thing, I will probably have to ask the original author
(Bruce Wampler) of the Wmvc classes for permission to use his code in
our project, seeing as how his classes are copyrighted.  Or maybe we
can just re-write them and in the docs mention that the MVC framework
classes were "inspired by" his work.
