Learning Spring Rich Client: Introduction to series

23 January, 2006 - 12:36pm — Chris

Right, time to learn Spring Rich Client.

I've been meaning to learn this project for a while, but haven't yet quite got round to it. Now is the time. A client wants a piece of work done that seems very well suited to using this framework, and it's an ideal time to work it all out.

Initial viewing of the project shows that there's very little in the way of documentation for the project (well, none, actually), so I'm going to attempt to document my documentation-less journey into the depths of the framework. When I look back, a sort of tutorial may even have emerged, which might help others. You never know.

If you notice that I'm doing this or that wrong, please feel free to post a comment and correct me. I don't care about looking amateurish or anything like that, and it'll turn this into a better reference.

Other frame works

I am looking for some framework for a thick client application. I found this 'spring rich client'.

Do you look any other frameworks like 'XUI' (http://xui.sourceforge.net) or Eclipse? And how you compire Spring with them?

Eclipse - Plug in

Hi,

I'm searching for a framework to create a thick client and I spent a few evenings on the Eclipse - PlugIn project based on SWT and JFace. On first sight, it was very exiting to be able to create so quickly a standalone application with Eclipse-Plugin, but then I was really disapointed when I noticed that all external jars you would like to include must first be converted to a plug-in library. As all my projects are Maven oriented, this limitation drove me to search for another framework. I'm already a fan of the Spring framework, so now I will start studying the Spring RCP framework to see if it can fill all my needs.

Regards
Dominique

A new Spring RCP Blog...

Hi,

Whilst searching for more details on Spring RCP I stumbled across your Blog. I haven't yet had time to digest it fully, but I thought it would be great if I also setup a blog where I intend to post weekly / fortnightly updates of what I have learnt.

Currently I know nothing about Spring, or Spring RCP, so I thought my Blog might be of use to newbies?!

If anyone is interested, please look here http://robwilsonjavagui.blogspot.com/

Thanks for your Blog!!
Rob.
