Matisse comments
Matisse is ready to go
It's a big step forward, but it needs refinement. It needs to be more intuitive, and needs more features (as I've understood, there are some new features in plans)
Looks very good
Shoud be good in next version, a api to use freedesign to develop databinding apps, like extend jtable to use some databing to fetch data from DB.
The main problem that i have is no 2 way reverse engineering, and other minor problems... importing older forms, nothing that gets in the way.
I am really enjoying working with this tool, I found earlier versions jerky and frustrating, RC1 is very polished.
We definitely plan to use it, but just haven't found the time to evaluate it yet.
The group layout used with free design can't yet handle components that provide their own spacing border. GroupLayout need improvement that Matisse can then take advantage of.
I do use it, but not extensively.
Hope to see same effort for swing Data binding + databinding components
One my wishlist for next release: Databinding!
Few exceptions and missbehaviours
It should be enhanced so that it is easy to control how components will be layed out when the main widget is resized.
It's easy to use. All what I need
I haven't seen the random weird exceptions in RC2 that I did before, but am not sure they're all fixed. The docs (help/tutorials) really need to be beefed up; the problems I'm having with layout may be user errors.
The greatest GUI Builder to grace the java world, keep up the good work as progression is a must to stay on top of the competition
Sometimes I can get it in an "insane" state.
It seems much faster than when this beta period first began. In addition it seems to update itself as widgets are moved very smoothly.
Overall,it works very well.
Sometimes, his behaviour is very frustrating. But until now, I have not yet success to have a exception. Before RC1, it was weekly (but always impossible to give steps to reproduce)
It just needs the kinks worked out of it. Something like being able to tell the IDE to no longer rearrange certain form items once I get them laid out. Sometimes items get added to and removed from groups because of something I do to other components, and sometimes that is great and other times it's a problem when it does that.
After heavy modyfying of form it happens that form is not compiling. Updated: $Date: 2006/01/23 09:28:32 $ GMT
