Provides a way yet easy-to-use dockable window solution as can befound in VS.
Edit by : The JIDE Docking Framework provides a very powerful yet easy-to-use dockable window solution as can be found in the Visual Studio .NET or Eclipse IDE. Dockable windows are proven to be the most effective solution to the problem of limited screen space and complex window layouts. Since its first release at the end of 2002, the JIDE Docking Framework has been chosen by hundreds of companies from all over the world. It is no doubt the best dockable window solution currently available on the market.
By taking advantage of the Swing pluggable look and feel technology, we have made several flavors of the JIDE Docking Framework. In the current release, we include look and feels which resemble applications such as Office 2003, , Visual Studio .NET, Eclipse, and Mac OS X (Aqua). In the 1.8.0 release, we introduced a completely new style called Xerto. You can always find the style you like the most.
