wxMatisse is finally set up on java.net. Right now only 4 widgets, one top level window and one layout manager is supported. You are more than invited to collaborate! Growing the project is really easy with its current architecture. The next milestone is supporting the maximum number of widgets using null layout on a JFrame.

Towards the end of a previous post I’ve exposed my thought of a wxWidgets plugin for NetBeans, more specifically, a plugin for C++ wxWidgets. If you have followed the tutorial through, you’ve probably realized how difficult it is to set up wxWidgets to be used on Windows using NetBeans. Even after the environment is completely configured, you still lack the power of tools like Matisse to prototype your frames. For now, a simple tool will address this problem: it’s called wxMatisse. wxMatisse is a tool that uses windows created by Matisse to create equivalent windows in C++ wxWidgets.
