take a look at jxul and luxor (www.luxor.org)... we're looking at doing the same thing only in terms of generating the XUL like language and then parsing it in a Swing-based app afterwards...
jxul merely tries to emulate the XUL stuff - but is still tied to the mozilla components - so may not be what you want. luxor is attempting to write a language to define the user interface so that it can generate all the jtables, jbuttons, etc based on that spec. unfortunately, he's mixed in some things that are superfluous - so look at it carefully. but he gives a good starting point for creating you own XUL based language - after that, if you need to parse it into something else, you need to write your own XSL stylesheet to handle that... cool. peace.
