Need a layout for my app
Hello.
I'm developing an application to manage bus trips for students of a university.
It's going to do a lot of things and have a lot of modules, such as registering, consulting, payment issuing and student card printing.
My question is. What's the best way to organize the Swing GUI?
I mean, it must have shortcuts (always visible ones) for all of the modules, plus configuration menus.
Is there any package of layouts? Could be JPGs, .java is not really necessary, since I can rapidly build it.. =)

Rather than making us guess, why don't you come up with a designand then ask for suggestions? If so, you may want to use the OOforum, and you possibly want to give somewhat more detailedrequirements.

Well, you weren't very specific.

I would be very surprised if the current layouts can't provide what you need. If you need something more complex then just nest the current layouts.

Right, so you have a couple of choices. One is to come up with
your own design, post it, and ask for suggestions. The other is
to mail somebody your requirements docs and a fat check and
have them do it for you. I'm happy to help with either of those.
What you can't do is say "I have a system, design it for me"
without making any attempt to do it yourself or providing anything
in the way of requirements and expect us to come up with
something useful.

You're right. I'm sorry.
Well. The program is going to be used by two or three people, the managers of the association. I think I'll need to provide them a simple and easy to understand interface.
My first thought was to make it look like this:

What do you think?
Thanks for the support..
