Books I would recommend at this point for their coverage of the topic include Graphic Java, Mastering the JFC, Volume 2 by David Geary and JFC Unleashed by Michael Foley and Mark McCulley. Thanks, David, Michael and Mark for those little helpers that make the Swing developers every day job a bit easier. Most important, I would also like to thank the Swing team for their continuing help and their patience in answering all the little questions I had during this project. You guys are doing a great and outstanding job. Inc. All Rights Reserved.
