This document describes the JGoodies Validation API
that helps you validate user input
in Swing apps and report validation errors and warnings.
It is a tiny set of class that has been designed to work
with different architectures and programming flavors.
Since version 2.0 the Validation library requires Java 5 or later.
The accompanying tutorial sources require the
JGoodies Binding
and JGoodies Forms.
Versions for Java 1.4 can be found in the
JGoodies Archive.
Getting Started
The Validation tutorial is an important part of this distribution.
It demonstrates different ways to use the Validation library
and provides reusable code.
The tutorial sources ship in folder src/tutorial.
It is recommended to run the precompiled
Validation Demo
before you work with the library.
