Re: faster development with xul

The reason why jsp was created is because of the unconvinience  html + java code 
creates.
You example would resemble to a Servlet which does just that.If you'd like to 
make a modification to the xml,
then a recompilation is necessary.

>  1. create XUL form in separate file
It should be easier to write:
        <vbox>
           <hbox>
              <label value="Select country "/>
              <spacer flex="1"/>
              <checkwidget id="currentCountry"/>
           </hbox>
        </vbox>
then
"       <vbox>"
+ "          <hbox>"
+ "             <label value=\"Select country \"/>"
+ "             <spacer flex=\"1\"/>"
+ "             <checkwidget id=\"currentCountry\"/>"
+ "          </hbox>"
+ "       </vbox>";
>  2. make sure it will be loaded with xul-loader
This isn't a big deal.Put the xul files in a jar which is included in the class 
path.You have other alternatives also.
>  3. write some java class
In your example, this will happen anyway.
