Dear Dr. Stefik,
If there is a way you can get the GUI builder to describe in coordinates
where elements are located on the form, that would be greatly appreciated.
I have not used the GUI builder recently, but tried it in Sodbeans 1.5 with
no luck. That is when I took your advice about writing the code out in the
Sodbeans Java text editor. I have tried the Swing tutorial that is part of
The Java Tutorials, and actually I think that does the worst job out of all
the resources I have looked at when it comes to explaining how to code Swing
components. The problem is that the tutorial throws in code without clearly
explaining it from a beginning graphics programmer's perspective. My course
textbook, Intro to Java Comprehensive, takes a slower approach; it has a
chapter on laying out GUI components, then another on how to add event
handlers to make the Swing components work. Introduction to Programming
Using Java by David J. Eck at http://math.hws.edu/javanotes/ does a good job
of describing Swing, but the author writes it in a way that it is a little
much to digest at once. For example, rather than demonstrating standard
Swing components from the start, he explains how you can draw shapes to a
JPanel. However, from reading the former book Intro to Java Comprehensive,
I could understand Prof. Eck's book better.
Finally, to see GUI output after my application is complete, I run the
latest version of Java Access Bridge which I believe is 2.0.2. It works
with JAWS, but not NVDA. I am hoping that a later version of NVDA has
better support for the latest Java Access Bridge in the future.
Sincerely,
Mike

Neat. I didn't know anyone was doing Swing stuff with Sodbeans. Just
out of curiosity, how is that going? Have you run into any problems?
Anything you think we should do to improve the way it works with swing
to make it more accessible or easier to use?
Just curious,
Stefik
