Title: Spruce up your Swing!
Product review: The Swing library is what makes Java usable for most users; ask them to interact with a purely text interface, and they'll look at you like you grew a set of antennae. But the Swing library is difficult to absorb due to its size, and to tell the truth, the results I have seen with simple Swing were less than inspiring.Swing Hacks takes this to the next level, showing how to make your interfaces shine. It does assume a fairly good understanding of Swing, so no newbies should get this imagining they'll be Swing gurus in no time. But learning Swing, and then applying the hacks in this book, you'll set yourself apart from the rest of the bunch.
