I finished some early alpha version, back in Jan 2005, but was not happy with that...
My first approach was based on Thinlet, that uses XML files to describe forms,
I rolled back...
I restarted the project (Feb 12, 2006), to make it much simpler to use. I realized I wanted to reach the
same kind of support as the Naked Objects does, but wanted Zwing to make development
easier for standard Swing GUI parts of an application and still leave open the use of advanced Swing features.
Last September (2007) I started working on the Swiby project.
Now, I plan to use it as the core framework for Zwing, when Swiby is ready.
The goal still remains the same: as long as we need basic and standard forms, use a high level Swing
layer and go back to lower level Swing APIs for non-standard things.
Description
The goal of the project is to introduce high level components so that for usual needs we don't need to fight with layout managers or deep swing components knowledge.
What the framework brings is less flexibility to GUI that need common basic behaviors.
