ANNOUNCE: Swank ("Tk" for Java) 2.1.3 now available

Swank 2.1.3 is now available and is generally running much better than
previous versions.  You can now directly execute Swank via Java Web
Start.  I've put up a few example scripts and the tkcon console as
examples of running Tcl scripts via Java Web Start.  I think this is a
fairly  way to deliver applications.

Major changes are summarized here (more detail in the ChangeLog):

Now supports a slightly modified version of tkcon.
Java Web Start version now available at the swank site
Shear and Rotate affine transforms added to most canvas items
Added support for "-state" attribute of canvas items
Added smooth capability to canvas lines
Added "search" subcommand to text widget
Added support for bindtags  and event command and virtual events.

Also:  I'll be giving a Jacl/Swank tutorial at the Tcl2004 conference
in October

Where can we get the screenshots? Everybody loves screenshots ;)

Though it may look as regular Swing, it would be very nice to put side
to side code samples and a screenshot of what it looks like (possibly
with a comparison to the equivalent Java code)

Good point.  I'll try to post some later today.

Here are two screenshots of Swank in action.  I'll leave it to you to
produce the equivalent Java examples.
