"...we get to see a bunch of enterprise Swing applications built atop NetBeans RCP (which all, in my humble opinion, need a bit of a GUI spit, polish and shine)."

OK... and then you show TWO NetBeans RCP applications. Not really "a bunch of". And the "all" in the paraphrase refers to, again, TWO applications.

'Tom', your IP address suggests you are an employee of Sun. In future I'd really appreciate if you'd identify yourself rather than just use an assumed pseudonym. Otherwise your point, if actually targetting the relevant issues (the ugliness of the NetBeans RCP applications), may be misconstrued as astroturfing.

To answer your question - I'm sorry for using the term 'bunch' incorrectly, however, according to dictionary.com, the meaning of 'bunch' is 'a group of things'. There's no suggestion as to the number of things that needs to be within the bunch. I'll try to be more careful about wording in the future. I hope you don't mind my use of New Zealand English, largely derived from British English.

Regardless, I've corrected my post to resolve your issues with my wording. Thankfully you didn't have any problem with me pointing out the ugliness of the NetBeans RCP-based applications.

By the way, I'm given grief from people when I don't cover the NetBeans RCP, despite encouraging people to send it in to me. So, I now actively look for NetBeans articles. In this weeks case, I covered the two items I found myself. But, as the sidebar on this site says, opinions expressed are my own: and being a user interface guy, I can't go past mentioning these RCP applications without pointing out that they could do with a bit of a GUI cleanup.

Please feel free to provide me with examples of pretty / well designed NetBeans RCP applications, and I'll happily cover them.

Good work fixing the correctness of your article, Mr. Giles ;)

Also, Tom: Seriously? Weak, dude.

Hi Jonathan, I'd like to draw your attention to a Java Swing based product. Its a small firm so you may not have heard of it much, But I would says the product oozes java swing and might be a good mention in a future list. You can click on my name to figure what I'm talking about. Cheers!
