MozCreator XUL Parser - Create Swing UIs Using XML

Hello,

  In a follow-up to the XUL News Wire posting R.J.
Keller - the MozCreator XUL Parser project lead -
writes (*reposted with permission):

  I hope you find my XUL parser useful :). The main
issue with using the parser is lack of documentation,
and that is mainly because I'm the only developer
working on it. The main area where you'll see problems
is running XulFrame.getElementById(), which returns a
JComponent. Problem is that you have to guess a bit on
what to cast it too (until I get some time to make
more documentation).

Goal of the parser is simplicity. I made the parser
take 2 seconds to render a XUL file and show it on the
screen. Some parsers I feel are way too complex. The
only area of complexity is if you make your own XML
GUI 
tags, which, with the latest code I checked in, isn't
really that hard, but not documented outside of the
javadoc and lack good XML namespace support (mainly
due to a JAXP bug).

I got some updated code on my private CVS server that
I'll dump to MozDev CVS sometime within the next week
if people might actually be looking at it :).



  Again if anyone tries out the MozCreator XUL parser,
let us know how the MozCreator XUL Parser stacks up to
alternative XUL parsers for Java Swing such as Sulu,
Luxor, jzXUL, jXUL, SwixNG and so on.
