Hi,

Continuing in my line to ask for things :) May i ask MigLayout
support?? It´s easy to add, it´s the best layout manager out there and
as a dependency is a simple jar.

You only need to add this lines to ComponentBuilder class:

At the end of the  configurelayout method:

else if (layoutString.startsWith("mig")) {
        cont.setLayout(new MigLayout());

        throw new IllegalArgumentException(layoutString
                                        + " is not a valid layout");

And at the end of the addToParent method:

        parent.add(child, constraint.toString());

Miglayout Constraints are strings like spring layout, i would like to
submit a patch but i don´t have access to the scm.

Regards, Raúl

Hi Raúl,

No problem. We really appreciate your feedback!

Perhaps instead of specifically building in MigLayout, we should add
the ability to plug-in new layout managers via the API.

I'm familiar with Mig, and I think its a nice layout manager, but you
can easily achieve the same results with the SDL/Swing layouts such as
LinearLayout. If you describe the layout you want to achieve, I'm
happy to provide the SDL/Swing example code to demonstrate how its
done.

Next week we will get our house in order and start offering SVN access
to developers like you who have shown they understand the framework
and can make quality contributions.

Best,
Dan

Hi Dan,

The ability to plug any layout manager is a most wellcome feature :)

The layout i want to create is the one shown in the attached image,  i´m
totally unfamiliar with LinearLayout and the core layouts like spring
allways looks too complicated to me to like them. Some examples about
LinerLayout would be more than appreciated. In the image the entity buttons
are displayed vertically while the entity table is displayed inside a
jscrollpane that fills most of the space, also there´re a jlabel and a
jxbusy label on the top down of the frame, the jxbusy label is left aligned.
To acomplish this i´ve used nested panels:

frame defaultCloseOperation=3 locationRelativeTo=null title="Details" {
menus{
"Create" {
"Persona" do="createPersona"
"Coche" do="createCoche"

form ID="Scaffold" {
pane  {
vpane loc="east" ID="listContainer" preferredSize="640,480"{
 }
ref "menu" loc="west"
pane ID="notification_pane" loc="south" preferredSize="640,35"{
"Generated by Spring Roo using SDL/Swing" border=5 loc="west"
busy ID="busyFlag" horizontalAlignment=4 visible=false preferredSize="25,25"
loc="east"

SVN access would be superb too :)

Thanks, Raúl
