[...] Update: I presented this code again at the St. Louis Code Camp on May 5, 2007. Alex Miller picked it up and revamped it to use the new Swing Application Framework stuff coming (most likely) in Java 7. | [...]

I double-checked and indeed that line is not needed, as you guessed. I’ve removed it.

Ah, yes, that should be yanked (I think). I was having problems getting the resource injection to work so I threw that in there while trying various things. I ultimately figured out that I had created my resource file in the wrong place, but never yanked this line. I did see this in an example program (which is why I tried it), but I think it was bogus there, too.

I could get off on a tangent here about the use of singletons such as ApplicationContext, but that would require me finding my soap box. :)

I have never seen JSR 296, so I don’t know if it is a typo but what is the purpose of the call to ApplicationContext.getInstance() in createMainPanel()?

If it isn’t a typo that JSR has some strange conventions.. Lets hope that is not the case.
