:: Readme :: Forms 1.2.0 ::
	
    The Forms framework helps you lay out and implement 
    elegant Swing panels quickly and consistently. 
    It makes simple things easy and the hard stuff possible,
    the good design easy and the bad difficult.

	
	 
	The JGoodies Forms requires Java 1.4 or later.

Open Issue
	
    There's a weakness in the FormLayout that may require an API extension.
    Components that span multiple columns or rows do not affect
    the column width or row height resp., 
    but can in some cases expand the container.

    I'm looking for a means to let the layout grid honor these components
    that is both powerful and easy to understand. 
    See the FAQ for details and a workaround.


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

    

	FormLayout has been inspired by Mullet&Sano's grid system,
	Daniel Barbalace's TableLayout, Daniel Michalik's HIGLayout, 
	and Doug Stein's GridBagLayout. The concept of dialog units 
	stems from Microsoft user interface implementations.
