Swing console?

[Jason Dillon]

Anyone have any thoughts on using Swing for the console... instead of  
a webapp (which are kinda evil IMO)... and then using webstart to  
serve it?  Maybe using Netbeans (or that license not ASL friendly)?   
I've done some work with NB before at it would be very easy to create  
a rich user experience... and its easy to drop in new modules to  
support different aspects of administration and monitoring.

I dunno.. just a thought...
