Hi there. I have been a Netbeans user for quite some time and just love this IDE. One of the key features is the nice GUI editor Matisse.
Yet, in almost every project that I do I end up writing lots of ActionListeners. They just come so smoothly by just doubleclicking a button in UI design mode. I do not complain about it, but...
over time there is a lot of logic in my UI classes. Not the best if you want to redesign the UI, offer alternatives etc.
So I checked, and yes: Matisse also allows me to use Action instead of ActionListener. Kudos to the flexibility!
But I have have to go through my code extra now and translate a lot of stuff.
Hence my question: Would it be possible for Matisse to nudge me into using Actions instead of ActionListeners? Would not other programmers benefit from the same improved code architecture? (I know it does not fix my current project or the past)
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
