Axualize (formerly Swang) - Another Java XML UI Motor

Hi,

 I found another Java XML UI motor named Axualize
headed by Russell White.

  You might wonna check it out at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/axualize

  Any thoughts are welcome.

  Spoiler ahead. Here's my take:




  * Using Sun's Java long-term XML bean persistence
format is a distaster. The whole idea of XUL is to
make the UI markup compact and readable and most
important independent of the underlying UI toolkit.

  * Axualize follows the Curl model (
http://www.curl.com ) and (ab)uses XML for everything
(including styling, object creation, procedural
programming and more).

  * Axualize has no separate "standard" style language
such as CSS to "tag tags".

  * Axualize has no separate scripting language such
as Python. Axualize has its own half-baked proceduarl
programming tags and ignores Jakarta Jelly or Sun's
JSTL.

  I guess I won't switch over to Axualize for now.
