MVC support?

[Baileys]

Hello,

I would like to use a GUI builder to develop a new Swing application, here at work. Moreover, I would like this application to be based on a MVC design pattern.
My question is : does Swing Designer offer some kind of help on writing MVC based application, ie.: generate listeners, binding views and models, generate abstract classes, ...

Otherwise, any suggestion on how to write MVC-based apps in cunjunction with Swing Designer is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Do you have any specific example of the exact pattern you want to follow? "MVC" is one of those age-old catch-alls that can mean 1000 different things to 1000 different people.

Swing Designer can generate listeners / event handlers in several ways. See...

Binding of views and models will be coming later this year (support for JSR 296) and will be based on our support for SWT/JFace data binding...

I'm not sure what you mean by generating abstract classes.

Automatic binding (espacially with tables) is a big part of what we need. Do you have an estimated time for when this functionnality will be available?
