in doing research for my project I was tracing down XUI. I found this thread but also see ARIA as not had much activity. the project is to have a swing UI that will develop Widget code with a WYSIWYG. it will generate ofbiz specific, java/groovy as well. This is ofbiz Framework Specific though I will leave hooks for future expansion.
So is there a library that would work in ofbiz?
