Swing + Processing?

Hi all,

To use a simple GUI I thought of using Swing in my Processing sketch.

I tried running following code:

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
JButton button_ok;
int port = 80;
void setup()
{
size(600, 400);
button_ok = new JButton("Ok");
button_ok.setText("Ok");
setLayout(new FlowLayout());
add(button_ok);
}
void draw()
{
background(100);
}

No button is shown.
What is wrong? Do I have to call a function in draw like button_ok.show(); or so?
Or uses Processing AWT, because Swing is allways under AWT?

Thanks!

Swing and Processing doesn't go well along, as they use a different threading system.
That's why you have G4P, controlP5 and Interfacia... Otherwise, people would have just used AWT or Swing...
