Hi All,
Today I have downloaded a SWT Software which is great to its features.
You can learn
many GUI details out of it. The basic functionality is it lists IP
Addresses of the
remote PC's your system is accessing.
You may find the project under sourceforge.net
http://nettymaster.sourceforge.net/
You can customize this software, please let me know your views
Vijay, don't be discouraged by all the negative responses.
I didn't download Nettymaster because I didn't have much time or need
to use it at the moment, but I looked at the source and intend to
check it out in action later. It seems you put a lot of effort into
it and, provided it's not overly buggy, it is indeed a decent
resource. However, I think your choice of the underlying GUI
framework may not be the best. SWT does not come bundled with a
standard Java distribution, so here you have to choose between
distributing it with your software or put it on the end user to
install the right version of it. As someone has mentioned, for a
network utility tool, it's too much to ask of the user.
See if you can decouple your networking code from the GUI code and
then you'll be on the path to switching the GUI toolkits. One other
bit of constructive criticism, if you don't mind. In a number of your
classes, you're using package-scope member, when I'm pretty sure, they
ought to be protected. Go over relevant language documentation from
Sun.
