:: Readme :: Validation 1.0.2 ::

Validate and present validation results effectively

The JGoodies Validation helps you validate user input in Swing apps and report validation errors and warnings. It has been designed to work with different architectures and programming flavors.

The Validation library requires Java 1.4 or later. The accompanying tutorial sources require the JGoodies Binding and JGoodies Forms.

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.
