This project contains a new way of creating GUIs with Java-Swing. Masks are generated by processing placed annotations. By now, every component has to be declared in the class where the target component is defined. This framework can be modified with extensions and better implementations of the Entry class.
A general instruction on how to use this framework and how extensions can be created and implemented is provided here »
This framework is built to be user-friendly when working with generated GUI instances. It is recommended to access the declared fields over a FieldReference object, because this class is thread-safe.
The way of generating a GUI instance is very simple:
Entry<MyGUI> entry = Entry.of(MyGUI.class);
// or with constructor arguments
Entry<MyGUI> entry = Entry.of(MyGui.class, "argument1", "argument2");The GUI instance is wrapped into the Entry object, because it provides some utility methods and general information that were collected during the generation process. If nested GUIs are found and generated, they can be queried by providing the field's name:
Entry<MyGUI> entry = Entry.of(MyGUI.class);
// this method is not type safe, it s recommended to use Entry<?> instead.
Entry<MyNestedGUI> nestedEntry = entry.getNestedGUI("fieldName", MyNestedGUI.class);Download the latest JAR file from the releases tab. This framework requires a minimum of Java 8+ for developing and running.
