Abstract

This chapter describes how to create rich client graphical displays (desktop application) using the Scala Swing windowing and graphical types. Since Scala 2.11, the Scala wing package I is no longer considered to be a part of Scala’s standard library API and thus some tools may require an additional dependency to be set up to pick it up. This is not the case with IntelliJ’s IDE but is the case with the Simple Build Tool (SBT).
