SwingSet 4.0.2 Released

SwingSet is an open source Java toolkit containing data-aware replacements for many of the standard Java Swing components. Version 4.0.2 contains some incremental improvements over 4.0.1 pertaining primarily to the SSFormViewScreenHelper API and to the management of the EventListeners used for binding RowSet columns to SwingSet components. From the CHANGELOG.txt file:

1. SSDBComboBox - added constructor without _query parameter.
2. SSFormViewScreenHelper API change, replacing:
   protected abstract void retrieveAndSetNewPrimaryKey();
   with:
   protected abstract String retrieveNewPrimaryKey();
3. Moved addSSComponentListener() and removeSSComponentListener() to SSCommon, making companion methods in SSComponentInterface static.
4. Added abstract method EventListener getSSComponentListener() to SSComponentInterface and implemented in applicable SwingSet components.
5. Component change listener for binding is stored as private data member in SSCommon and initialized in the bind() method.

SwingSet 4.0.0 Released

SwingSet is an open source Java toolkit containing data-aware replacements for many of the standard Java Swing components. Version 4.0.0 represents a rewrite of much of the code base, and coding changes may be required for projects using earlier versions of SwingSet. This version will make developing future enhancements much easier and we are anticipating a more frequent release cycle.
