If you wanna do a console for SWT / JFace I'd highly suggest starting with Panoptes and adding some stuff to it. Its silly reinventing the wheel. (Take a look at the screenshots - its looking pretty good already - just needs some JSR 77 / 88 and Geronimo specific goodness).

Hi,
what about an eclipse-plugin? I am currently working on doing a JSR-77
client for eclipse (will post something on Sunday). I personally favor to
have the console integrated in the ide. I do understand though, that eclipse
is not everybodys choice.
Cheers, Mariano

a good alternative (for me developing) to the twiddle comand client.
There are a few things there that I've been trying to figure out there
that just aren't working dealing with the twiddle cli - such as keeping
track of state, etc. Besides, I have more experience developing swing
UI's then CLI interfaces.
I'm willing to lead work on a swing console, and hopefully will be able to
extend James' code. I started looking at it last night and it looks
doable.
Hoeffenlich geht es gut. (And that's the extent of my memory of HS Deutsch

Cool, James. That's great news. MVC is perfect for thick-client UIs,
too : ) Now everyone who wants to scratch that itch can do so (ich habe
es genug f�r mich gekratzt).
It sounds like Matt and Ryan are already thinking a lot about this
stuff. Does one (or both) of them want to lead the effort on developing
the swing UI? (I'm sure James will if they won't, and will help them if
they run across any issues). There are probably dozens of people on the
list who want to help with the Swing UI, who have a lot of experience
with UI design or who know JMX like the back of their hand. If not,
this is a perfect chance for newcomers to get involved (other than
writing unit tests) and learn some new skills.
Matt and Ryan are both very competent developers and show a lot of
initiative for pushing in this direction : ) If it sounded before like
I was suggesting that the Geronimo project shouldn't have a swing UI, I
apologize--you guys should know that wasn't what I was trying to say
(and even if I were, I don't make decisions around here ; ) I never
want to close the door on new ideas or new, useful components to plug
in. I think that stuff is great. I was just trying to convey that I
personally specialize in thin client servlet approaches and will stick
with them because it's where I operate most efficiently and can make the
best use of my time. I'd probably be more of a hindrance than a benefit
to skilled a thick-client UI team.
Again, thanks for the help and the great work, James. Best luck to Matt
& Ryan on driving the swing effort if they choose to do so. If they
have specific ideas down the line of ways they could reuse pieces of my
code and want me to help abstract out bits for their use, I will do
whatever I can to help them. --
