I am pleased to announce the release of JFormDesigner 1.0, an innovative
WYSIWYG GUI designer for Swing user interfaces. It is easy and intuitive
to use and provides a lot of powerful features.
Easy and intuitive to use, powerful and productive
JFormDesigner provides an easy-to-use but powerful user interface.
Easily drag and drop components, resize components using the handles,
set properties, etc. Powerful features like in-place-editing, keyboard
navigation, automatic component ordering (for grid based layout
managers), IntelliGap, drag and drop of columns/rows increase your
productivity.
JGoodies FormLayout and TableLayout support
These open source layout managers allow you to design high quality
forms. JGoodies FormLayout support includes column/row specifications
(alignment, size, resize behavior), IntelliGap (automatically handles
gap columns/rows) and column/row grouping (makes widths/heights equal).
Also other parts of the JGoodies Forms framework are supported (DLU
borders, component factory). TableLayout is fully supported (column/row
size, gaps, alignment).
Advanced GridBagLayout support
The advanced GridBagLayout support allows the specification of
horizontal and vertical gaps (as in TableLayout). JFormDesigner
automatically computes the GridBagConstraints.insets for all components.
This makes designing a form with consistent gaps using GridBagLayout
much easier. No longer wrestling with GridBagConstraints.insets ;-)
Column and row headers
The column and row headers (for grid based layout managers) show the
structure of the layout (including column/row indices, alignment,
growing, grouping) and allow you to insert or delete columns/rows and
change column/row properties. It's also possible to drag and drop
columns/rows (incl. contained components and gaps). This allows you to
swap columns or move rows in seconds.
Java code generator or runtime library
Either let JFormDesigner generate Java source code for your forms (the
default) or use the royalty-free runtime library to load JFormDesigner
XML files at runtime. Your choice. Turn off the code generator in the
Preferences, if you don't need it.
Generation of nested classes
The Java code generator is able to generate and update nested classes.
You can specify a class name for each component in your form. This
allows you to organize your source code in an object-oriented way.
And there are a lot of other nifty features...

Give it a try. Download it. Get a free evaluation license. Enjoy!
