Hello,

   beck et al. projects has unveiled the gui4j open source project that 
lets you create Java Swing apps using markup (e.g. XML/XUL).

   The gui4j project page states:

   gui4j is a framework for describing Java Swing GUIs completely in XML.

The graphical user interface is created dynamically based on the XML 
definitions. Each GUI window is associated with exactly one top-level 
XML file. Each XML file can dynamically include other XML files to 
support complex GUI definitions. Each XML file is associated with a java 
object that acts as both a Controller and a Model for the GUI. There is 
a strong layer separation between the GUI and the Controller: GUI 
definitions in the XML files can access all Java methods of the 
Controller, but Java methods cannot access any GUI elements directly. 
Events are used to trigger changes in the GUI.

   More @ http://www.gui4j.org

   If anyone tries out gui4j lets us know what you think.

    - Gerald
