Java-Swing - Changes

Revision history for Perl extension Java::Swing.

0.14 Tue Sep 4 18:36:27 CDT 2007

finally moved modules into a lib directory
fixed bug which prevented tree::DefaultMutableTreeNode and other similar classes from working. Thanks to Gabe Schnaubelt for pointing out this bug.

0.13 Thu Oct 12 18:13:38 CDT 2006

Added the rest of the awt layouts to the list of non-Swing packages in Java::Swing::PerlFakePackages and marked the correct package of many more. There may still be others I missed. Thanks to Agent Zhang for pointing this out.

0.12 Fri Jul 7 18:28:53 CDT 2006

Applied Andreas Puerzer's patch which allows you to use the Java::Swing constructor sugar, even if you need to call a constructor with an initializing object (e.g. putting an icon in a JLabel).

0.11 Tue Sep 27 17:50:06 CDT 2005

Cleaned documentation, especially as it relates to adding new listeners to Java::Swing.
Corrected the callback parameters so they match the documentation. You get the stringified sender and the real event object. (Before you got undef and the real event object.) Ask the object if you need the java object that generated the event (try using getSource).
Cleaned all_listeners in Swing/Generate so that it no longer generates the Perl modules which used to be needed, but were replaced in version 0.10 with methods in Swing.pm.

0.10 Sat Jul 9 11:04:10 CDT 2005

Removed unneeded variable from Swing.pm for clarity.
Removed all but three physical Perl proxy modules. Moved to proxies generated on the fly within Swing.pm. This reduced the number of files in the distribution dramatically (total modules went from 313 to 19).
As part of the module reduction, standardized the listener java classes so they all have the same methods and always call the same _Listener method in Java::Swing for event dispatch to Perl callbacks.

0.03 Fri Apr 22 18:46 2005

Cleaned documentation
Corrected Timer class. To use it do this: my $timer = Timer->new($delay, { actionPerformed => \&handler }); $timer->start(); do these things before calling start on your Java::Swing object (which I call swinger in the docs).

0.02 Wed Jan 14 03:24 2005

Completed initial documentation
Added a large number of modules to the MANIFEST
Added those modules to the packages list used by Swing.pm
Changed the location of the packages list in the hope that the location will make it easier to maintain for me and others
Brought in awt Layout managers. This required special attention for GridBagLayout and its constraints class. See t/05gridbag.t for an example of how to use the GridBagLayout.
