       <panel> <buttonGroup> <panel> <radioButton/> </panel> <panel> <radioButton/> </panel> </buttonGroup> </panel>
    

       <panel> <buttonGroup> <font .../> <panel> <radioButton/> </panel> <panel> <radioButton/> </panel> </buttonGroup> </panel>
    

swing:action

Creates a Swing Action which on invocation will execute the body of this tag.The Action is then output as a variable for reuse if the 'var' attribute is specifiedotherwise the action is added to the parent JellySwing widget.

swing:borderAlign

Represents a layout of a child component within its parent <borderLayout>layout.

swing:borderLayout

A Layout tag which uses nested <borderAlign>tags to implement a BorderLayout

swing:buttonGroup

Implements a ButtonGroup. This tag acts like a Swing componentexcept that adding a component other than an AbstractButton, will be passedthrough to the parent tag. This is meant to make thebuttonGroup easier to use like this:

       <panel> <buttonGroup> <panel> <radioButton/> </panel> <panel> <radioButton/> </panel> </buttonGroup> </panel>
    

Note that the following construct will silently fail, and shame on s/he who even tried it:

       <panel> <buttonGroup> <font .../> <panel> <radioButton/> </panel> <panel> <radioButton/> </panel> </buttonGroup> </panel>

swing:component

This tag creates a Swing component and adds it to its parent tag, optionally declaring thiscomponent as a variable if the var attribute is specified.

This tag clears the reference to it's bean after doTag runs.This means that child tags can access the component (bean) normallyduring execution but should not hold a reference to thistag after their doTag completes.

swing:constraint

This class represents a layout-manager constraints as passed inthe second argument of Container.add(Component,Object).

In essence, it looks really like nothing else than a bean-class...with

TODO: this class should probably be extended with special treatment for dimensiosusing the converter package.

swing:dialog

Creates a Swing Dialog. A JDialog needs to have it's owner set in the constructor,which is why this class is needed instead of just using a BeanFactory.

swing:emptyBorder

swing:focusListener

swing:font

Creates an Font and attaches it to the parent component or exports the font asa reusable variable that can be attached to multiple widgets.

swing:gbc

This class represents a java.awt.GridBagConstraintsconstraints as passed inthe second argument of Container.add(Component,Object).It supports inheritence between such tags in the following fashion:

• either using a basedOn attribute which issupposed to provide a reference to another

In essence, it looks really like nothing else than a bean-class...with

TODO: this class should probably be extended with special treatment for dimensionsusing the converter package.
