Existing SWING application to JIDE

[GGNAGARKAR]

Is there a easy way to convert the existing SWING application to JIDE?

Thanks

This question is probably too big to answer. It really depends what kind of application you have and what JIDE components you plan to use. You may ask more specific questions.

Thanks,

Attached is a screen shot of the application I am talking.
It might give some idea.

It is a very typical application that can leverage JIDE Docking Framework and JIDE Action Framework as well as some JIDE components.

1. For the top level tabs (Event, Dashboard etc), you can use either JideTabbedPane (if you don't need to view two tabs at the same time) or DocumentPane (if you want to view two tabs at the same time).
2. The three tabs on the left (the ones who tabs don't have text) and the eight tabs on the bottom can be converted to DockableFrame and use Docking Framework.
3. The gna... tab in the middle can be another DocumentPane as I assume you can open more than one tabs in this area. This DocumentPane will be added to the Workspace area of a DockingManager, just like SampleVsnet does.
4. The menu bar and toolbar can be converted to CommandBar and use JIDE Action Framework.
5. You can also use JIDE Grids for your tables but that's could be the next step.
6. You can also use StatusBar but it doesn't really necessary as your status bar seems very simple.

Thanks. Will go ahead with that.
