Java SWT Application Development
|
A Java widget is a simple GUI element or application within a web browser or on a desktop screen that serves a specific purpose. Widgets can be used as a collection, forming components of a dashboard, or they can be used as a standalone application. Widgets can be made work in both a thick client and thin client architecture. Widgets are quick to develop and easy to deploy.
Silicus has experience and expertise in Java application development using SWT, AWT and wxWidgets. |
| SWT
SWT or Standard Widget Toolkit is fast becoming a popular choice for Java developers looking to develop client side Java applications that visually appear, operate and perform like desktop applications. SWT provides easy to use widgets and API's which are helpful in building rich user interfaces and is designed in a way so as to give Java programmers access to the underlying operating system resources. Silicus has used the open source SWT widget toolkit for Java to provide efficient, portable access to the user-interface facilities of the operating systems on which it is implemented.
Silicus SWT programming services also include expertise in using SWT with Java Web Start to take advantage of the tools provided by JWS for deploying client side Java applications. Besides JWS, Silicus Java widget programmers use the following tools for Java SWT based development:
- JniGen: tool that generates JNI wrappers for creating the SWT Platform Interface (PI).
- Sleak: tool that monitors the creation and disposal of SWT graphics resources
- SWT Spy plug-in: for eclipse, a tool that provides information about a widget
