There was someone who was very interested in supporting it as a project, but I haven't heard what came of that.
That was probably me. We started with DV on a project and very much loved it. But we wanted a way to design whole forms and have some logic in there. Unfortunately the current state of DV did only allow for single tables (we extended this to some simple forms some time, but we never went further).
We realised that we need something with which we could design not only lists but whole frames. And we knew we'd need something for web apps as well as for "native" java applications. So we designed and implemented Gozer.
Gozer is something like a cheap Xul for Cayenne. It contains some Xul concepts, but also some concepts from DV. Basically you design frames in XML. That XML file contains layout and binding information. A renderer then takes that definition and renders into the format you need. Including the binding, events and everything. We have already implemented a Swing, Wicket, PDF and Excel renderer (to different extends). We are quite happy with what we have and would be more than willing to walk interested parties through the concept/code. While Gozer currently is part of our application, we always planned for using Gozer as an external library so that others could use (and extend) it as well.
So ping me if you'd like to hear more. Cheers, Adrian
