Creating a new window

A window provides create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) access to the data to a user. These functionalities are provided by the standard tools and menus. A standard layout of a window has the following parts:

• Title bar

• Menu bar

• Tool bar

• Tabs panel

• Status bar

The following screenshot shows the different parts:

Given the ADempiere architecture, as an author of a new window, you do not have to worry about how and what gets displayed in the Title, Menu bar, Tool bar, and Status bar. All we need to focus on is the Tabs panel. And, in this recipe, we will go through the steps required to create a complete working new window in ADempiere, which will act as the foundation for building our MOM window.
