Great job on the layout! I love it. I am blown away how easy it is to use. It is
by far much better than any of the other layouts. The only one I will use is CardLayout for a wizard
component I wrote. But other than that, this is now my only layout I use! I think you should seriously
consider submitting it to Sun to get included in the next version of Java, if not a 1.4 update, maybe 1.5.
It is, as you showed, much easier to use than both GridLayout and GridBagLayout.

...this should most definitely be in the JDK - it blows away the
competition (have you tried to actually use the SpringLayout).

Your TableLayout saves us a lot of time and handles gracefully the most complex
designs, great work!

I really love your TableLayout. I think it's going to revolutionize layout in Java GUIs.

Liked the article, it really opened my eyes to AWT. I've been so immersed
in Swing, that I didn't realize AWT could have the flexibility demonstrated
in your article.

I read your article "TableLayout - An Alternative to GridBagLayout" on the
Sun JFC site, and I think TableLayout is quite superb.
I use Netbeans for most of my work, and I am now trying to find a Netbeans
support module for TableLayout.

I wanted to personally thank you for the excellent TableLayout.
It is exactly in the sweet spot between simplicity and power.
Before TableLayout I was layering panels in BorderLayouts like you
wouldn't believe! I had to write the UIs in one sitting because I could
never go back and make a change!
I tried creating UIs with every release of JBuilder from latte to version
6. Every time I went back to SlickEdit (although I've now switched to
IntelliJ Idea)
And I tried coding GridBagLayout by hand. That didn't even come out
looking like the the Java I know.
So, I just stayed away from writing UI code.
Finally, with TableLayout, I can sculpt the UI as I go along.

My compliments on your article about table layout and the code, found on
the Swing connection.
A longtime 'command line' DOS programmer, I am trying to teach myself Java
which I admire greatly but find GUI coding terrible. I quickly found out
how to use this layout and have already used it in an in house application.
I hope the Swing team will integrate this in their next offering.
No reply required -- just thanks for your work.

Just wanted to thank you for your article on TSC on the new TableLayout,
it was exactly what I needed for a project I'm doing (sports scorer for
Cricket). Great article

I have been sidetracked for a while, but I finally took
the time to read your article:
TableLayout - An Alternative to GridBagLayout A Simple and Powerful Layout Manager
I just have to make more time to play with stuff like this.
This is way cool. Although I'm not qualified to say this,
I am way impressed. Keep up the great work!!!

I just can't resist to thank you for your excellent job on the TableLayout.
It is the best layout to date. Lots of people literally suffering working
with Sun's layouts, these layouts are a real pain.
Your layout is a joy to work with!

I read your article about your TableLayout manager that is posted on the
Sun web site. I want to tell you that I think your layout manager is the
easiest to use of all of the layout manager classes that I have
implemented. I have primarily been working with the GridBagLayout manager
for all of my Swing projects. It was very frustrating trying to get the
UIs to size without any of the pixel problems that you point out in your
article. Thanks again for such a great layout manager class.

TableLayout is very useful and makes it a lot easier to develop Swing
applications. In fact, the existing knowledge on spreadsheets and HTML
tables enables developers to create frames and dialogs much more
efficiently. Thanks for this excellent invention!

I wanted to say thanks for the layout! As many of the other quotes from
your web-site attest, it's a great contribution. I don't abhor laying out
my GUI screens anymore, I just sketch them on paper and lay them out in
seconds.

You have significantly improved the layout situation in Swing applications.
It is not only that you've inspired me, but I have used your TableLayout in
Swing courses and have found that its mental model is what developers can
understand quickly.
