Native Swing

Back

March 24, 2009: DJ Native Swing 0.9.8 is released. It adds cookie management to the JWebBrowser, updates the JVLCPlayer API and fixes many bugs.

Purpose

The NativeSwing library allows an easy integration of some native components into Swing applications, and provides some native utilities to enhance Swing's APIs. It is composed of a framework library, and an SWT-based implementation that provides many rich components.

The key components of this SWT-based implementation are of course a rich Web Browser and a Flash player, though it also offers a Multimedia Player, an HTML Editor and a Syntax Highlighter.

The NativeSwing Demo application presents all the functionalities, along with corresponding source code.
