I’ve been coding in Java for the past year, and i think I have solid OO and
basic OOD skills. I’m looking to build a Java GUI on-top of an existing project which is not complex, but I want to finish it as quick as possible. So I’m looking for an API that would abstract all the nitty gritty implementations and let me focus on the core of my minimal viable product.
I really prefer coding with eclipse and not wasting time trying to learn to get used to another IDE. What would you suggest I do?
Well, actually the GUI Builder in Netbeans is your best bet to make a GUI really fast. You can do it in a matter of minutes if you have the picture in your head about how it’s supposed to look like. After that, the only thing left to do is to bind it to your application; more specifically: make the ActionListeners of your buttons for example do whatever they should.
This of course depends on the application’s size. If it’s small, then making a GUI for it is easy. If, on the other hand, it has 2000 classes, then it can be more complicated, since the GUI will probably be more complicated.
If the application can be modelled as a Model-View-Controller architecture, that would help you a lot.
