I agree. Their APIs are a mess. To create a vertical stack of components you use a RowLayout and set the orientation to vertical? What!? Their layouts behave differently depending on what components you are using, which is totally unacceptable. They are miles behind Swing, Flex and WPF. Having worked on a number of key Java standards, including Java 6, we tried to offer them some advice and they completely blew us off.

The FAQ is a good place to learn about the site. You may want to join some of the interest groups such as Java Developers and User Experience Design.

We hope you find TechHui useful and invite others. Have a great weekend!
