Re: [PHP3] New PHP Project - Needs Help!

Off topic, but what the hell... To do it in Java one would be required to use Swing. AWT is unusable for a complicated program such as this. Swing, however, is bloated and poorly written. I got all excited one day and made myself a little swing text editor. WooHoo, it worked! And it was pretty! Then I started looking into adding cut and paste, undos, etc. My God those classes are horrible! Here I am leafing through a 1500 page book that ONLY talks about swing components, and the undo manager and document model make no sense whatsoever. The document model is powerful, but horribly written. In contrast I made a text editor under OpenStep, which contained 7 lines of code and had full undo, cut and paste, and search and replace capabilities. Ugh, why didn't Sun rip off OpenStep a little more? Summary: I don't think swing is up to snuff yet, and I'd stick to native windowing systems or a cross platform gui library (FLTK comes to mind, and it might even be advanced enough for something like this... http://fltk.easysw.com/) Philip Coates wrote: > > I would be inclined to agree > > -----Original Message----- > From: Martin Koistinen <koistinen@houston.omnes.slb.com> > To: Oreste Dimaggio <dimaggio@datastream.it>; php4beta@lists.php.net > <php4beta@lists.php.net>; Php3-list <php3@lists.php.net> > Date: Monday, November 08, 1999 4:26 PM > Subject: Re: [PHP3] New PHP Project - Needs Help! > > >Just a thought...
