I'm working my way through the text, it starts with AWT, and moves to 
Swing.  While all this event/listener driven programming makes a lot of 
sense, it's still quite new to me.  I'll definitely check out Matisse 
when I'm further along.

What I like so far about WDSC is that I can do my Java application 
development alongside my JSF development, and the tooling seems (so far) 
to be consistent.  By the time I'm done, I will have used the same set 
of Java classes to run a Green Screen/CL application, a JSF application, 
and now a Java applet/application.  I'm impressed; this is code re-use 
at it's ultimate.

Thanks for the feedback, the example code will be useful, although I am 
still interested in finding out where the tooling to generate it has 
moved to in WDSC 7.0
