Cooee is a Web UI framework that closely follows the Swing API without the hassle of Javascript. This means that developers with little to no web application experience can immediately begin coding web applications with their existing Swing API knowledge. The code base represents a combined fork of the Echo2 source code and associated projects

The newest version!

/**
 * Describes the interface between a child Component and its
 * parent Component. A LayoutData object may
 * contain layout, position, color, or other data to describe how a given
 * Component should be rendered within its parent.
 * LayoutData objects are used as values of the
 * layoutData property defined in the Component
 * class.
 * 
 * LayoutData is a marker interface which is implemented by all
 * objects providing such layout information. A component which needs to present
 * layout information to its parent should use the specific derivative of
 * LayoutData applicable to its parent component, e.g., a child
 * of a Grid might use the GridLayoutData
 * implementation. The specific LayoutData implementations
 * available for use with a given parent component will be described in the
 * parent component's documentation.
 * 
 * WARNING:  Setting an incompatible LayoutData
 * property on a Component may result in a render-time exception
 * being thrown. Take care to check the requirements specified by the
 * documentation of a container Component before setting a
 * LayoutData on a child of that container.
