  • Lots of JXDatePicker and JXMonthView improvements.
  • More Mustang sorting improvements.
  • AutoComplete improvements.

Great news

Is there anywhere that gives more details about what's gone into the build, for instance what is prompt support ?

PromptSupport, etc.

by kschaefe - 2010-07-13 06:29

The bin release contains a full list of all bugs fixed (over 90), so I don't want to duplicate that here.

In short, PromptSupport is the ability to add prompts to text components.  There prompts can be a combination of text and Painters and have display rules based on focus.  I am working on a blog with examples for that right now.  I hope to have it out in the next day or two.

Swing-worker maven dependency

do you know if swing-worker dependency is mandatory for 1.6 user ? If not, could we add this dependency into a profile auto enabled by jdk version ? Thx Christophe

No backport for 1.6.x

As of SwingX 1.6 it is no longer necessary to use the SwingWorker backport.  That should not be part of the Maven requirements.

Swing X maven + no swing-worker

Fine it's great. What about maven repository ? Why there is this lag time between release announcement and repository availability ? (normally it's just a command line to deploy) I'm an OSS reposiitory user/contributor, if i can provide you some help, don't hesitate. Regards, Christophe.
