This is a fork of the Oracle SwingSet2 app which demonstrates some of the abilities of the Swing User Interface Toolkit by displaying many of the components in a single showcase application.
This fork was made to demonstrate the use of jDeploy to package Java apps as native apps.
TO RUN SWINGSET2 AS AN APPLICATION
java -jar SwingSet2.jar
TO RUN SWINGSET2 AS AN APPLET
appletviewer SwingSet2.html
TO MODIFY/BUILD SWINGSET2
The full source for the SwingSet2 demo can be found in the "src" subdirectory. If you wish to play with the source code and try out your changes, you can compile and run in this "src" directory:
javac *.java
java SwingSet2
You may notice a difference when running SwingSet from your compiled source (versus running from the packaged JAR file), in that it won’t show the splash screen. This is expected, as the splash screen is shown using the java.awt.SplashScreen support, which allows specifying a splash screen image as an attribute in the JAR’s manifest file. If you’d like to see the splash screen with your own compiled version, you can package your classes into a JAR and specify the splash screen (as outlined in the java.awt.SplashScreen documentation) or you can specify the splash screen image on the command line:
java -splash:resources/images/splash.png SwingSet2
Note: These instructions assume that this installation’s versions of the java, appletviewer, and javac commands are in your path. If they aren’t, then you should either specify the complete path to the commands or update your PATH environment variable as described in the installation instructions for the Java™ SE Development Kit.
