Hi,
I don't really care much for any GUI builder that generates Java code,
so I wrote my own GUI builder as part of a larger open source project.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xaldev
The GUI builder is called "Bricks" and it doesn't generate any source
code. Instead it generates a XML file that gets parsed at run time.
You use the GUI builder to layout your swing components and then you
create your controller code to manage the actions and data. It is
somewhat similar in concept to OpenStep's GUI builder but nowhere near
as fancy. The advantage is that you don't have to mess with any
generated source code. This means that you get just the views you need
when you want them. It is ideal not only for Java development but also
for scripting languages such as JRuby and Jython since there is no
code to compile. You can write a quick JRuby or Jython application
with a nice user interface without compiling any Java code.
The project also includes an application framework for rapid
development of full featured applications. This framework manages such
things as documents, online help, console, open/save, copy/edit/paste
and much more. The extensible menu is powerful by default.
You can probably remove most of the code within the project
(accelerator physics framework) and just take what you need. It is
organized into packages.
Let me know if you want more information.
