Some questions that you might have...

What do I need?
Docking Frames requires Java 1.5

How to make a simple project?
Please download the project, unzip the file, and have a look at the files in "dock/demo/demo/...".

Where is the documentation?
I have not much space on this server, so you have to create a Javadoc by yourself. The files of "Docking Frame" are UTF-8, you don't need Javadoc for the files of "utils".

How do I save the location of the panels?
Please have a look at the classes "DockSituation" (for simple storage) and "PredefinedDockStation" (for more advanced storage).
