[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: what's the relationship between swt's formlayout and jgoodie's formlayout

SWT FormLayout is quite powerful and flexible, but I don't use it because it takes a lot of code to get things done. If you're accustomed to JGoodies FormLayout then I would suggest using GridLayout. I usually get by with combinations of FillLayout, GridLayout and RowLayout.

However if you are migrating existing Swing code to SWT, I would use SwtForms.

thanks.
They are quite different. However there is a SWT port of JGoodies' FormLayout at http://ffxml.net/swtforms.html
