Trying to learn GUI programming with JRuby & NetBeans

Ruby JRuby
1

Hello team,

I installed Jruby:
jruby -v
jruby 1.7.3 (1.9.3p385) 2013-02-21 dac429b on Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit
Server VM 1.7.0_07-b10 [Windows 7-amd64]

and also Netbeans 7.0.1.
I have never coded a GUI apps but would like to start with NetBeans
because I think it provides drag&drop design capabilities. I was
wondering is there is a tutorial that will show me how to define the gui
and then how to take the design from NetBeans and incorporate it into
jruby.

Thank you

Hi I think that theres no way to do that now…

If you read the recents mail lines there’s a conversation about it maybe
a JavaFx and Scene Builder integration it’s posible… with Fxml

I’m recently used Swing + Jruby and there’s not so hard… but is plain
code

Sure there is. As James B. wrote on this list just a day ago:
“Monkeybars was designed to play especially well with compiled Java
Swing code, such as what you can generate using the Netbeans WYSIWYG
editor.”

Chapter 10.4 of Using JRuby also has a section with a simple app
walkthru
using Monkeybars in Netbeans. I wrote that section and have not
verified
things still work (this was written 3 years ago) but it should. That
section does cover the basics of how Monkeybars works.
