A new article entitled Using the Swing Application Framework is now
available on the Sun Developer Network site:

http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/javase/swingappfr/

The article describes how to use the new framework reference
implementation, which is specified by JSR 296. The framework is a
lightweight framework and helps new Swing developers get started by
adopting best practices for interacting with the Swing event dispatch
thread, creating localizable resources, handling events, creating
Actions, etc.
