I'm intending to design (and provide a reference implementation for) a new Swing Rich Client Framework. My job and personal experience covers many project-specific Swing client frameworks as well as the Eclipse RCP, and every one of th开发者_运维百科em had some original and clever concepts, but also drawbacks and rigid realizations.

My plan is to incorporate the best of those concepts and features into a new framework whose core is very open and extendable.

For my must-have-features list, I'm counting on your input and hope you can share some concept pearls & diamonds you've encountered in other frameworks, or features you always wanted to have or have in a better way.

The framework is intended

• for very simple to very complex and sophisticated projects
• for clients that need full i18n
• for richt clients that execute some or all of the non-presentation logic on the server
• to be very lightweight
• to be easy to learn and use

Thanks in advance for sharing your insights :)
