RESEARCH PAPER ON SWINGS RESEARCH PAPER ON SWINGS

Abstract

This hands-on introduction to Swing, the first in a two-part series on Swing programming, walks through the
essential components in the Swing library. Java developer and Swing enthusiast Michael Abernethy guides you
through the basic building blocks and then assists as you build basic but functional Swing application. Along the way
you'll learn how to use models to ease the process of dealing with the data. Most Swing developers know by now
that Swing components have a separable model-and-view design. And many Swing users have run across articles
saying that Swing is based on something called a "modified MVC (model-view-controller) architecture."
But accurate explanations of how Swing components are designed, and how their parts all fit together, have been
hard to come by -- until now. The silence ends with the publication of this article, a major white paper on Swing
component design. It provides a comprehensive technical overview of Swing's modified MVC structure and
demystifies many other facets of Swing component architecture as well.
