Building

To build various WebLaF artifacts you will need Java 1.6 (update 30 or later) or Java 1.7 and [Apache ANT] (http://ant.apache.org/).
Simply run ant command within the "build" library folder to build all artifacts at once.

Here is a full list of usable ANT targets in WebLaF build script:

  1. build.artifacts - default target, build all artifacts at once
  2. build.weblaf.jar -> weblaf-x.xx.jar - build WebLaF binary
  3. build.weblaf.simple.jar -> weblaf-simple-x.xx.jar - build WebLaF binary without dependencies
  4. build.sources.zip -> weblaf-src-x.xx.zip - build WebLaF sources zip archive
  5. build.npe.jar -> ninepatch-editor-x.xx.jar - build 9-patch editor application
  6. build.weblaf.demo.jar -> weblaf-demo-x.xx.jar - build WebLaF demo application
  7. build.javadoc -> weblaf-javadoc-x.xx.zip & javadoc - create zipped and unzipped library JavaDoc
  8. run.npe -> build and run ninepatch-editor-x.xx.jar - 9-patch editor application
  9. run.weblaf -> build and run weblaf-x.xx.jar - library information dialog
  10. run.weblaf.demo -> build and run weblaf-demo-x.xx.jar - demo application

Example Usage

To install WebLaF you can simply call install() or use one of standard Swing L&F set methods:

public class WebLafUsage
{
    public static void main ( String[] args )
    {
        // You should work with UI (including installing L&F) inside EDT
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater ( new Runnable ()
        {
            public void run ()
            {
                // Install WebLaF as application L&F
                WebLookAndFeel.install ();

                // You can also do that using standard Swing methods:
                // UIManager.setLookAndFeel ( new WebLookAndFeel () );
                // UIManager.setLookAndFeel ( "com.alee.laf.WebLookAndFeel" );
                // UIManager.setLookAndFeel ( WebLookAndFeel.class.getCanonicalName () );

                // Create you Swing application here
                // JFrame frame = ...
            }
        } );
    }
}
