#

do you have to use Swing? could you use FX instead?

#

"make separate jframes & convert to panel" doesnt make much sense

#

use separate files. dont try to keep everything in 1 file

#

would probably be easier to just write the swing code

#

swing window builders use a special kind of layout, called SwingLayout

#

and the layout isnt intended for human intervention

#

it could, if done right. but thats going to depend on many things

#

seems like today is the day, ramsay

#

its not that difficult. you just gotta understand layouts

#

UI is all about nesting layouts

#

you might have a BorderLayout, but a panel inside that layout may be using FlowLayout or GridLayout

#

and those panels may have other panels, using other layouts

#

so its mostly just understanding layouts

#

you can try copy-n-pasting

#

yeah

#

its tuesday. im sure you could learn basic Swing & write it manually by then

#

i dont mind

#

thats the school life

#

grades mean nothing. it counts towards your understanding, your knowledge

#

bad professors may give good assignments bad grades. good professors may give bad assignments good grades

#

in the end, what matters is what you know

#

panels arent special, they arent complex

#

dont fear them

Generally splitting it up makes reuse earlier, increases readability, ... Normally it shouldn't be too hard to move.
