Re: list of java guis

Thanks to all for your help. I had already did some searching on the
net, and found a few FAQs. The FAQs mentioned all that you had told
me. But, most of the dates on the FAQs were a year or two old. I just
wanted to be sure.

Thanks again to all you were big help.

HI,

I'm a programmer, but have very little experience with java (school).
Recently, I was asked about java GUIs. What are the most common GUIs
used, and the most supported?

My next question may be off topic, but I'm not sure how it fits into
the GUI libraries. When you talk abou java, you here references to
jdk, javabeans, etc. What are they, and what is the difference? Are
they compilers, environments? Any explanation or links would be
appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Coding java GUI's: Java's AWT or SWING and use if the layout managers.
Others? JGoodies and more...

The major free ide's are JCreator, JDeveloper, Eclipse and Netbeans.

http://www.jcreator.com
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/index.html
http://www.eclipse.org
http://www.netbeans.org

The major commercial ones would be IntelliJ or Websphere.

http://www.jetbrains.com/idea

JGRASP and BlueJ are free and where created and used in academia.

http://www.jgrasp.org
http://www.bluej.org
http://edu.netbeans.org/bluej

BlueJ is recommended if you are starting Java or in early stages and
want to lean how to code in a OOD\OOP style of Java. Netbeans has a
BlueJ Edition for people who want to step up from BlueJ to help you
migrate eventually to their full blown Netbeans.

Roedy's website has a comprehensive list:

You other question could be addressed here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_%28programming_language%29

Also a little Google'in would resolve all you questions on the terms you
mentioned above.
