Community Corner Podcast: Interview with Jan Haderka and Alex Potochkin of the SwingLabs ProjectPosted by editor on July 15, 2009 at 7:06 AM PDT
At JavaOne, Jim Wright interviewed SwingLabs project members Jan Haderka and Alex Potochkin in a java.net Community Corner podcast. The 16-minute interview covered current development efforts in the SwingLabs project and subprojects, including SwingX. First, Jan announced that Alex is taking over leadership of the project from Richard Bair. Alex noted that the many SwingLabs subprojects are actually independently managed, and the great work the subproject leaders have done makes his role as leader of the umbrella SwingLabs project much easier. The SwingLabs project is intended as a playground for development of future Swing-related components and capabilities. Multiple elements that were originally developed in SwingLabs projects have been incorporated into Java 6 and JDK 7. In addition to SwingX, the jxlayer subproject was highlighted in the interview. Jxlayer, a universal decorator for Swing components, is among the subprojects which have contributed to the broader Java releases. Significant development is also happening in the swingx-ws subproject. Swingx-ws addresses web-oriented tasks using JavaBeans and Swing. The SwingLabs project is seeking new contributors. You can assist with one of the existing subprojects, or start a new incubator project. Visit the SwingLabs project site to learn more about the project and subprojects, and find out how you can contribute. You can find all this year's java.net Community Corner podcasts as they are published on the JavaOne Community Corner Podcast page.
