# Swing Rocks - Xtreme GUI Makeover 2007 @ JavaONE

Another
sample how good Swing Apps look and behave. In the Extreme GUI-Makeover session
at JavaONE typical "business" application (a table with master-
detail relation and some) was pimped up with relatively little effort. Things
like splash screen, validation of widgets with "shaking",
reflections, animated sorting of a table, custom components (looks like ajax,
flex or flash with mac l&f), fade-in's with blur effects - it was really
amazing. The customization was surprisingly simple (mostly inheritance of
AbstractOrder, JPanel, etc. with some 2D tricks). 

 

One
reason more to attend my session "Java 6, The New Operating System for
RIA" TS-3559 at Friday, 13:30 :-).
