Java Swing Program Structure

Question

I am looking for some best practice guidelines for an application that uses Java Swing for structuring. I am usually a webapp guy and try to follow MVC. Is MVC typical of Swing applications? If so, how?

Answer 1

You may find this very simple example and discussion useful.

Answer 2

After MVC, this is a very good idea. As far as I know, there are no formal Java Swing structures, they all focus on the aspect of the View problem.

I found the following structures, initially based on it, that look promising:

• BSAF - http://kenai.com/projects/bsaf

It would be interesting to know how they work in practice. I hope they help.
