Converter

It's a really temperature and metric unit converter. I developed it in Java. I didn't see anyone post any type of converter so I thought I'd be the first one. I know it's simple but go easy on me. I just want to share my project with my community.

It's not even large at all. It's a jar file so I hope you like it. I included the source too.

Thanks for the comments.

@IR: I used the InputVerifier interface to take care of that

You know java programs would be alot better if you set the look and feel to the platform its running on. Other than that, its a great little app.

Yeah, i hate the default java look and feel. Its not that hard to make a java app look like any other app from the OS its running on. It just looks more professional in my opinion. But my apps always look like a dogs dinner so even on Mac OS X they still look pants.

I get it that you have a sartorial bend, (the metal armor, looking "pants", etc.), but some translation, please.

Pants == great?,
"dogs dinner" == ???

Yes, thanks for the suggestion about the look and feel. I know it's not hard to make it like it's on platform look and feel. I will make it happen.

A lot of people don't like the Swing Look and Feel. Does anyone here do?
