No, they are not. Where did you get that from? These examples are real
ones. They are not generated. You use the xml in your program directly
by calling "render" from a SwingEngine object. The returned container
and the SwingEngine object helps you to access, modify, ... the gui
rendered.

You know wrong ;) No class is created through the xml. Load the
swixml-zip-File, append the contained jar files to your classpath and
try to compile and run the examples. I assure you, this is all...

Swixml creates a object hierarchy "on the fly" consisting of Swing
objects described in the xml file given. I assume you got somehow
attached to the idea to create a class but this approach is much less
flexible than swixmls approach.

BTW: what use has it to show *generated* code other than to show the
very clever code generation? When the code generation gets much more
clever, the generated code looks totally different and leaves the reader
in total confusion.
