Anyone maintaining MacWidgets?

[Charlie Hayes]

I've made some changes to my local source branch to support icons and separators in HUDComboBoxes.

It seems to me MacWidgets stop being maintained some time ago.

I have hacked the source quite a bit for my own project.

I can add you as a committer if you like.

I've been keeping some changes I have in my own "macwidgets-extras" library I can contribute back as well.

Thanks! 

Some of the changes I have made probably need discussion before I try to merge them in.

The stuff I've done:

• cloned the source list UI for use in generic JTree since I had a lot of legacy JTrees to make look consistent with the source lists.
• Did the same for JList.
  
• a spinner "badge" in the cloned JTree UI.  Spinner render code is from Jeremy Wood's blog.  I needed this because clicking some elements would result in loading large amounts of data.  So it each element would have a spinner until done.
  
• changed BadgeContentProvider to return strings rather than ints.  I needed to show plus signs one time.
  
• cloned bottom bar to create an iMovie like middle tool bar that you can use to control a JSplitPane
• mucked around with Hud components (can't remember what I did now, it's been a while)
  
• mucked around with the TriAreaComponent (have to compare what the differences are)
  
• mucked around with widget color schemes.
  
• implemented a sorted JTree and JList
• partial coverflow implementation based on Romain Guy's music shelf example.  Not very refined and I used just to display photos rather than CDs or DVD covers.
  

I did all this a couple years ago using an older version of macwidgets.  It works with 0.9.5 but where I cloned the original source list and other code it's pretty much from the older code so some amount of refactoring should be done and unit tests added where appropriate.

Some of the design choices I made deliberately did not follow Cocoa conventions but Java ones.  Hence extending JTree/JList over extending the SourceList UI.  But I can backfit the spinner and some other changes back into the SourceList code if desired.

Have to find a little time to do this too. :)

Regards,

Nigel

As long as the changes keep with the clean, simple coding pattern I've established, I'm fine with you're changes.

Anybody want to volunteer to merge all of the changes and push out a 0.10.0 release?

:-)

[Charlie Hayes]

I still haven't checked in any of my changes as I've been really busy with other obligations. I think the maintainer is okay with whatever.

Hey, I just used mac widgets for my application and would like to help make a release, because I know how hard it was for me to find a way around it.  I also think some of the documentation needs some work, so, if you want, I could help with that.  I think this project has a lot of potential.

Thanks,
Jeffrey Walraven

I'll add Jeffrey to the list of committers.

Yes, ist would be nice to have new binaries for those who have troubles with compiling the Source. :-)

[Jeffrey Walraven]

I just compiled the source and uploaded it to the Downloads section. I didn't know if anybody wanted to merge anything, but it has been quite a while since I have seen changes.

[Jeffrey Walraven]

Also, I used JDK 6 to compile. Do you think that will be a problem? Are people still using this with Java 5?
