| Visual Mobile Designer Custom Components: Creating Mobile Splash Screens
|
| Typically, you use a splash screen when a program starts, or to display
|
| a logo or branding information. It gives users the first impression of
|
| your application. As you'll see in this tutorial, the Visual Mobile
|
| Designer (VMD) in the NetBeans Mobility Pack makes it easy to design a
|
| splash screen for a Mobile application, and implement it using the
|
| SplashScreen custom component included in the VMD's palette.

| Powerful Reporting Functionality
|
| Incorporating the OpenOffice.org API into a NetBeans Platform
|
| application lets you produce highly complex text documents,
|
| spreadsheets, and graphs. Geertjan's blog provides a lot of basic
|
| information, including reusable code snippets, describing, for example,
|
| how to connect to an OpenOffice.org installation and how to transfer a
|
| Swing JTable's contents to a text table in an OpenOffice.org Writer
|
| document. For details, read all three parts, linked here:

| Hyperlinks in Maven POMs
|
| Milos Klient writes, "The Maven POM file contains a lot of useful
|
| information but it's not always ready at hand. While browsing some
|
| pom.xml file and copy-pasting the url contained there, I thought there
|
| must be a better way. Why not have the URLs hyperlinked?" Take a look
|
| at his results.
