LazyPanel and LazyContent for convenient asynchronous data & UI loading #577

Closed mgarin closed 4 years ago

mgarin commented 4 years ago

LazyPanel and LazyContent is something I'm moving into WebLaF from one of our proprietary projects. These two features were made to provide a streamlined and easy way of asynchronously loading data (or performing any long calculations in general) and displaying related UI elements afterwards.

While there is SwingWorker provided in Swing - we simply found it lacking functionality that is often needed (container management, progress display, different loading trigger events etc).

I'll post more information on these features once they're out.

LazyContent and LazyPanel have been added, they will be available in v1.2.11 release. They will also be available quite soon in SNAPSHOT artifacts: https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/com/weblookandfeel/
