Description : Java User Interface Toolkit
Buoy is a Java framework for creating user interfaces. This release
contains a number of bug fixes and new features, including a toolbar
class, and changes to better support graphical layout tools. It is
stable and suitable for production use.
Buoy is built on top of Swing, but provides a completely new set of
classes to represent user interface elements. It has many advantages
over using Swing directly, including a cleaner and simpler API, a far
more powerful event handling mechanism, a better system for laying out
components, and built in support for serializing and reconstructing
user interfaces as XML.
Buoy is a dependency of the OpenJump/Jump package, so to get OpenJump
into Debian we need to get Buoy into Debian too.
