   I'm glad to announce that the version 0.3.0 of SwiXAT (http:// 
www.swixat.org) is out.
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 to define the view, 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. The use of XPath makes it very simple to
traverse the object tree of the application's business model. It uses  
SwiXML as is, i.e. without any modification to its source code,
so SwiXAT can be considered an add-on of SwiXML.

This release adds both model and window events management. Support  
for the Groovy language has been added. It's possible to use XPath
expressions to bind UI components to the model. More examples have  
been added, and the user guide has documentation about the new features.

SwiXAT is absolutely free and is released under the Apache license.

Regards
Paolo Marrone
