Swing Application visual state persistence
Hello,
I have a complex SWING application and I would like to save the state of the JComponents on it when the application quits. Then use that state when I run the application again to set the JSPlitpane , floating toolbars, internal frames and the like into the same state that they were when the application was exited before. I am not speaking about the "model", I already save all the necesary data such as text and other data part of my application model.
I saw, a while ago, some API that took care of this kind of functionality, but I can't find it now.
Could anyone tell me how do they achieve this kind of functionality?
Of course I could save a Properties file ( or Preferences in the registry ) with the location and size and other properties from each of the JComponents on my application, but this seems very tedious work.
Thank you for the help,
Alfonso
