It does seem to be since it is listed in the
layout combo box in the Designer's Property
Inspector.
I never use the XYLayout, so I haven't tested
it in JBuilder X (or 9, or 8, or ...). Sorry.

We use XYLayout here all the time with jBuilder X. Our typical development pattern is to first design a layout using XYLayout and then switching it to GridBagLayout. Not perfect, but until jBuilder provides some newer Layout schemas, it works pretty fairly well. - Peter "Paul Furbacher" <pfurbacher@mac.com> wrote in message news:3ff44188$1@newsgroups.borland.com... > Sven Goetgeluck wrote: > > > i'm still using jbuilder 3 but i want to upgrade to X > > but i was wondering i use a lot xylayouts are they > > still supported in jbuilder X > > It does seem to be since it is listed in the > layout combo box in the Designer's Property > Inspector. > > I never use the XYLayout, so I haven't tested > it in JBuilder X (or 9, or 8, or ...).

Yes, I used to do that. And, the docs advise
one to start with XY and then flip to GridBag.
Now, I just start with the GridBag. I find
that I spend less time zeroing out the padding
and other items by going directly to the GridBag.
Since the GB layout assistant is non-modal if
you right-click on a UI element and select
"Constraints...", I keep it open and nudge
things around one-by-one, if necessary.
Adjust, apply, adjust, apply, ....
Very quick. As I've said before in these
newsgroups, that layout assistant is
worth its weight in gold, and my guess
is that it weighs about a ton. So that
tells you how much its worth.
All too often, I hear or read people saying
there's no decent GUI designer for Swing --
in fact, some moaner/whiner was prattling on
in JDJ's most recent issue (hint: he works
for IBM) on the subject. Most won't
do themselves a favor and work with
JBuilder -- either ego or ignorance
gets in the way. 'Tis a pity.

Another alternative decent panel designer is Foam, at http://www.computersinmotion.com It throws out GridBag and offers easy and powerful design. It's a little like starting and finishing with XYLayout :-) Foam also separates your Java code and the UI creation & layout by storing the UI in XML. There are demo movies on the site that are worth watching. Cheers, Graham Perks.
