I'm glad to announce that the version 0.5.0 of SwiXAT - the Swing XML
Authoring Tool - has been released.

SwiXAT (http://www.swixat.org) 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 as the XUL engine (without any 
modification to its source code!), 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, maintaining however the power of any 
java-based application. The use of XPath makes it very simple to 
traverse the object tree of the application's business model.
SwiXAT is released under the Apache 2.0 license.

This new version adds an improved support for JList, JComboBox and JTree 
components; two new data sources, DOMDataSource and ObjectDataSource 
were added; the support for JComboBox renderers was added, and the model 
event handling has been simplified. The user's guide (over 70 pages) has 
been updated with the documentation about the new features.

You can read all the changes at
http://www.swixat.org/docs/changes-report.html and download the last
version from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=99002

Regards
Paolo Marrone
