I just finished my first non-trivial program using Eclipse 3.0.2 with
the latest VE, and found it a very pleasant experience as opposed to the
tons of hand-written code we had in the last Swing project I worked on.
I tend to use JPanels with the BorderLayout to position things,
including new JPanels with BorderLayout inside of it, and when you get
nested two to three times with this it basically turns hard to work with
as you need to position the mouse very, very carefully to put it in the
right place.
More than once it was easier to put the object in the NORTH and then
change it to SOUTH in the source view.
There must be an easier way to work with this - either by putting visual
classes inside one another (how would you do that) or by being able to
zoom in and out in the VE-view (which I don't think I can do). Another
thing I looked for was a way to "Zoom to this component" which would let
you work inside of it, and let you zoom out again later.
I found none of these, which indicates to me that I just think in a
different way than the developers :)
How do others solve the problem of complex GUI's?
