1  PureMVC Manifold / Standard Version / Application Class Part of View? on: March 31, 2010, 12:10:04
In Flex and Flash you have what equates to a view component for the application entry point.  It is either an <mx:Application> or a document class.  This is not the case with Java, with the possible exception of when one uses netbeans GUI designer to create the GUI.  However, I am creating my GUI using swing components arranged by hand, and it seems logical that the application entry point not be part of the view.  Instead PureMVC is created first, then a login screen, and finally the main application.

So my question is, does this approach hold to the PureMVC gestalt?  Is there an advantage to starting with a view component that I am missing?  Basically, what is the the best approach for application entry with Java?
