[OKC JUG] A couple of Swing Articles

[Jason Lee]

The future of Swing was briefly discussed at last week's meeting.  As  
I noted there, I'm not really in the loop on what's going on in the  
Swing world, but I sort of follow these things as an interested  
observer.  At any rate, the article discussed was Kirill Grouchnikov's  
Blog "Sun setting down on the core Swing."  As damning as that may  
sound, it was written in November of last year, and there's been much  
discussion since then (some dealing specifically with Kirill's claims,  
though I haven't taken the time to track those down again).  In Java  
Posse episode #244 (which, incidentally, is now without anyone from  
Google -- they've all moved to new companies), they discuss the Swing  
2.0 imbroglio and link to these two articles, which I found helpful  
and interesting:

Of course, that doesn't settle the matter, but it does provide some  
interesting data points.
