Message body follows:

Hi Jim,

I was speaking with Rod Johnson and Greg Southey this
morning in Dublin and I asked them about the Spring RCP
project and I was told you were the man to speak with.

I am lead contributor on the XUI RIA framework

http://xui.sourceforge.net/wikka/wikka.php?wakka=XuiWikka
http://www.xoetrope.com/xui
http://www.ohloh.net/projects/9952/contributors

and we have worked quite a bit with Spring recently to such
an extent that we can create a UI with very little code. We
do this via declarative XML and data bindings that get
rendered as Swing/AWT/SWT or LCDUI for mobile applications.

There is some documentation of this at
http://www.xoetrope.com/wiki/XPojoPanel, XPojoPanel ebing
one of the key classes along with the data binding classes.
A video of an application using this technology is available
at: http://www.xoetrope.com/client/strandum/capture1.zip (it
runs a little slow as caching is not yet enabled).

Anyhow, I think RIA/RCP works really well with Spring - its
something of a missing ingredient and to this end I'd like
to push the technology further and I was therefore wondering
how I could interact/contribute/collaborate with the Spring
project and in particular the Spring RCP project.

What do you think?

Regards

Luan
