GUIDE Description

Advanced GUI builder for Swing GUIDE is a free and easy to use graphical user interface development environment. GUIDE generates properly formatted, easy to read Java code. GUIDE doesn't parse the source , but compiles it and operates on real Java objects. GUIDE facilitates proper separation of concerns by encouraging the use of one of the Model-View-Controller patterns. Building your GUI this way makes it easy to write to proper unit-tests for your models and controllers. GUIs are notoriously difficult to test, but by putting all complex domain code in your controller you can make sure your testing coverage covers the most important code. GUIDE supports automatic component generation from model or controller properties. Drag a boolean field property onto your design and GUIDE will generate code to create a JCheckBox, initialise it by consulting the controller and set up the appropriate listener to set the appropriate flag in the controller when the check-box is clicked. If the controller has PropertyChangeSupport a listener is also set up to pass state changes from the controller in the view, thereby binding the values of the view and controller together. Drag the whole bean onto the design, and GUIDE will create bound components for all bean properties. GUIDE allows you to create to designs that be reused as separate components. Any class that extends java.awt.Component that has a no-arg constructor can simply be dragged out of the project browser and dropped onto the design.
