1) Invent an XML language language that describes your GUI designs.
2) Design your GUIs in that language.
3) Write a stylesheet that converts your GUI design into HTML.\
4) Write a stylesheet that converts your GUI into Swing code, or into
something that can produce Swing code.

Some years ago, I did some experiments in this area using stylesheets to
generate documents written in IBM's Bean Markup Language (BML), which is an
XML-based language for instantiating and assembling software components.
Those documents, when run through a BML processor, would create and connect
the appropriate Swing objects to produce an API -- including binding that
API to a back-end data representation which could then be interfaced to the
rest of a program. So it's possible, if you want to do the work to make it
happen...
