</div><div><br></div><div>MigLayout is my layout manager of choice. Be warned that I always hand code my GUIs, but I think MigLayout removes some of the most painful aspects of it. If you "git grep" the ImageJ2 codebase for MigLayout, there are a few examples in there. Here is a pretty good one:</div>

<br>
I'll be embarking on writing a Micro-Manager plugin to control a diSPIM microscope and will need to do quite a bit of GUI code writing. So far I have mainly been using the Netbeans GUI builder, or hand-coding GUIs, none of which are very nice. I remember that you mentioned the MiG Layout manager a while back on one of the mailing list, and am curious to hear if you have experience working with it, and whether or not it would be worth trying it out.<br>

Thanks for you opinion!<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
