Swing Scalability, Part 2
I got some good comments on the previous Swing scalability post. In particular, they brought to my attention some frameworks and helper classes. I already heard of Foxtrot. It is a nice little framework that seems to get a lot of attention. For my taste I don't feel it gives me much more than SwingWorker, so I haven't used it yet. Another one is Spin. I just learnt about it and my initial impressions are very positive. It is especially useful for novice developers to hide some of the underlying thread management. Still, even for pros it can reduce the clutter. I'll certainly try using it in the future and perhaps blog about it.
