Description reedb2005 2005-06-28 15:23:56 UTC

I am extremely pleased to see that there is now support for component edge
alignment and would love to see additional VB type support for centering
components vertically, horizontally relative to the form and/or relative to each
other.

Ultimately, I would love to see NetBeans provide the same level of support that
.NET (Oops, I hate it when people reference M$) does for laying out, aligning,
and spacing components.

I have only used Matisse for a few days, but not having CENTER ALIGNMENT OF
COMPONMENTS is my biggest gripe so far.

For example, I have a JTextField with a JButton directly below it; the
JTextField is wider than the JButton.  I would like to center the JButton under
the JTextField, but I cannot find a way to automatically do this; I end up
sizing and placing the JButton manually, and I don't always center it correctly.
 Anyhow, I would love to see this capability added as soon as possible.

If everything goes well, we'd like to have this in 6.0... Not in detailed plan
yet, so setting 'target milestone' to 'future'.
