Building that Killer Desktop App with Groovy and SwingX
Just as the SwingBuilder brought a more hierarchical and readable format to Swing, the SwingXBuilde does the same for the SwingLabs Swing extensions. Because of the builder concept, Groovy has become a good solution for rapid prototyping of user interfaces. Sponsored by Google in the 2007 Summer of Code, SwingXBuilder is officially in the wild and being used by
the Groovy community in several tech demos and in a tleast one production application.
In the September Tampa JUG meeting, we will examine the SwingXBuilder and how to use it along with other Java technologies to create that "killer app," code it faster, and with far less lines of code.*
