Re: FormLayout & Swixml Marriage

I don't' want way beyond layout... I also don't want XUL. I just want to 
define all my swing widgets in XML

jelly swing  will let me do this but it goes too far. Too much 
functional xml when I just want widgets. I like the MVC way of 
programming.. the idea of functions in my layout irks me.

as for plug-in architectures there's actually a generic plug-in 
architecture project on sourceforge that a friend of mine's working on.

Should be able to drop into pretty much any system.  And I doubt wolf 
really wants to code a whole new one (even if it does co-opt existing 
concepts)... I know I don't.
