The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Could you elaborate on what you mean by "drawing the screen dynamically"?
I get an XML feed from the server and it will have something like the
following:
<form id="form1">
<button id="btnSubmit" x="12" y="100" value="Submit" />
</form>
Based on that I know I need to display a form with a single button on the
screen which I do by parsing the XML and incrementally "drawing it" by
instantiating AWT objects and adding them to a panel/frame.

experiences? Please note that I am not as much interested in GUI drag and
drop IDE's as I will be drawing the screen dynamically based on what is
sent
down from the server. It is more important to have an easy to use object

If you need anything besides plain "put text here, select drag down
here, click ok or cancel" you need to know by heart how components
interact. The most documented component set is Swing in Java, so you
can find most resources on it on the web, and it is maintainable for
others.
When you say Matisse I think you may be thinking of layout managers, and
not so much GUI framework.
Sounds fun though :)
