4. The Guava GUI

The GUI* is itended to be as automatic as possible. Although the hints given should help you, you should be familiar with the usage and parameters of each component you're using. The GUI will guide you through the following steps, after which it's up to you to modify your own code manually:

  • Select the options:
    - Should the wizard create a sample GUI for viewing before continuing?
    - Should the wizard create an output file?
    - If so, should it save to your custom file name, or to a file extrapolated from the input file name or the name of the GUI within the file?
  • View the integrity check and (if applicable) the sample GUI. If no errors:
  • Fill out the custom component options via the given component-hierarchy tree
  • Select the source file and (if any) the destination file
  • Click on "Compile" to complete the compilation process.
  • You would then edit and fill out the bare-bones GUI application (IE the Java file created), compile it using a Java compiler and run it using the 'java' command.

    * Not to be confused with the WebGuava applet.
