I'm glad to announce that the version 0.3.5 of SwiXAT - the Swing XML Authoring Tool - has been released. You can download it at http://www.swixat.org and read a short tutorial at http://www.swixat.org/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=Tutorial SwiXAT is a Swing-based authoring tool for the quick and easy development of GUI Java applications. It implements a true MVC framework and uses SwiXML as the XUL engine (without any modification to its source code!), BeanShell (or Groovy) as a scripting language for the controller, and JXPath as the binding mechanism between the view and model. It provides a complete environment in which it is possible to almost write an entire Java Swing application without writing Java compiled code, maintaining however the power of any java-based application. The use of XPath makes it very simple to traverse the object tree of the application's business model. Changes: - The <Script> tag has been added to import a script directly within a view. - The mechanism to show the view in response to a command was made dynamic. - Now the developer can indicate relative paths for all the resources, in order to easily relocate the entire application. - Some bugs about the context handling were fixed. - The documentation has been improved and a complete tutorial has been added. The project is at an early stage of development, hence any feedback is welcome. Regards Paolo Marrone
