Greetings,

I am starting a new project and think that using custom tags would be a
great solution to my problem.

Are there anyone here who can tell me there experiences using custom tags?

Thanks

umm... it was easy?
although i didn't do anything too complex. I just made the tags render
with AWT widgets instead of swing.

Hello,

actually, I use custom tags a lot. Some are simple, some more complex.

One of the more complex custom tag I use deals with the limitation of JCheckboxMenuItem, as this does not propagate its selected state to actions connected. So I extended JCheckboxMenuItem, JToggleButton and AbstractAction (no custom tag for that, as you may have guessed). In the extended classes I fire a property change event in the overwritten method setSelected().

Other custom tags include drag-and-drop-images, components displaying some zoom factor, help enabled everything (see mailinglist archive for that).

Hope this gives you a rough idea.

Yours,

Frank Meissner
