:: Readme :: Binding 2.0.1 ::

The JGoodies Binding synchronizes object properties with Swing components. And it helps you represent the state and behavior of a presentation independently of the GUI components used in the interface.

Since version 2.0 the Binding requires Java 5 or later. The accompanying Binding tutorial sources require the JGoodies Forms library and use the JGoodies Looks if in the classpath. Binding versions for Java 1.4 are available in the JGoodies Archive.

Acknowledgments

The Binding project has been financed by customers of the JGoodies Swing Suite. It is only with their money that I can provide, maintain and improve this library at no charge.

The Binding has been inspired by the VisualWorks ValueModel hierarchy, the PresentationModel pattern, and the Java Beans standard.
