The XUI framework mentioned earlier is now dead/frozen, however
development is continuing under the banner of the Aria framework
(http://www.sf.net/projects/aria). The framework includes things like
data bindings and automatic form and dialog generation from POJOs with
data binding, validation and caching. Spring integration is possible
and is being enhanced at the moment with support for annotation driven
generation of the UI, client side caching and rule driven coordination
of the UI (updates etc...).
The framework includes docking and other desktop metaphors plus lots
of rich components. The framework also comes with WYSIWYG plugins for
NetBeans and Eclipse. The framework can target various widget sets
including Swing, SWT, AWT and MIDP and JDKs from 1.1.8 to the very
latest.
There is a draft article at http://www.formaria.org/spring/integration
explaining some of the Spring integration.
Some or all of the framework might be of interest to this
project/current discussion and perhaps as the basis for future
development.
