Annotation Type Swing

@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Target({FIELD,TYPE})
public @interface Swing
This annotation is used to include components in the GUI generation. There are only two attributes this annotation provides:
  • ComponentNumber and
  • provider
The component number is defined as the default annotation attribute and specifies the order this component is added to the parent component.

TIP: The component number can be used with the BoxLayout due to the fact that this layout places their components in the order they were added to it. Another place would be the menu-context.

For example: 

      @Swing  // can only be used on field declarations
      private JSeparator separator;

Changes on version 1.1.0: This annotation can be used on classes also to provide more generation flexibility.

Since:
1.0
