Hi,

"easy" is probably very very subjective. I personally find MigLayout not
easy to use at all. My go-to layout manager is GroupLayout, for which I
created a Scala wrapper(1). The docs are not completely up to date but the
basic things are all there and the classes are now rather complete, imho.

Thanks Dennis,

but not what the question was about.
I don't need to easily layout complex forms in a designer,
but to easily layout simple forms in a script with scala.swing.

Just what you would do in Groovy with:

panel() {
tableLayout {
content.each { row ->
tr {
td { widget(row.selectbox) }
td { label(text: row.title) }
td { widget(row.donebox) }
}
}
}
}

I prefer a Scala Panel-Wrapper for MigLayout:
http://github.com/hotzen/MetaFlow/blob/swing-UI/src/metaflow/ui/MigPanel...

Usage like:

Ingo was supposed to include one of ours. Not sure what happened.

I was referring to the two GroupPanel implementations that were already written.But contributions are welcome if there's something you'd like to add. :)

Last time we exchanged emails, I had the impression that you are willing
to contribute those. Correct me if I am wrong.

It would be really nice if you two could agree on a common interface.
GroupLayout is different from the other standard layout managers, so it
needs a little bit of thought.

Andreas, do you have any input?

Here's my latest copy. I think the first step would be a more detailed analysis of how they differ. Would you want to do that?

From what I remember the end result of both our products, from a user's point of view, were rather similar. I've worked quite a bit on mine since then, adding a some convenience things like "spring" gaps, concise size constraints and alignment but also a lot of scaladoc.

Maybe we could start hacking together from some starting point (I don't mind if that'd be your code or mine) online ... at github or wherever?

Appreciate it. There isn't any chance of making 2.8, is there?

It depends on how fast you are and how well tested it is :) Seriously, I
guess it is more for 2.8.1.
