What are good docking frameworks for Java/Swing? [closed]

Question

I'm looking for a good lightweight Java docking framework.

I know that Netbeans and Eclipse can be used as RCP, but I'm looking for something a little bit more lightweight.

Answer 2

I once evaluated several docking frameworks (including the already mentioned flexdock and mydoggy and jdocking.

Finaly I came to Docking Frames, which I can really recommend. It is easy to use but still feature rich + good documentation and quick support from developer via forum.
