[jdjlist] RE: Creating a Dynamic GUI

[bruce]

why don't you look at  Swixml at http://www.swixml.org

from the web site:
SWIXML allows developers to rapidly generate graphical user interfaces by writing XML documents defining the layout and content of the interfaces.
SWIXML is an efficient java library, capable of instantiating javax.swing and custom objects at runtime. However, all dynamic and data-depending objects, like event handlers, data models, etc, have to be coded in Java.

It's available under an Apache-style open source license
