Actually there are a couple of Swing Application Framework forks -- the one that seems to get the most attention is the Better Swing Application Framework (http://bsaf.sourceforge.net/). If you use NetBeans and create a Swing application it uses the standard Swing Application Framework to create the app. Both frameworks use most of the swing best practices.
