I can't speak to Beans Binding, but a fork of SAF named BSAF (Better Swing Application Framework) is alive and well:
http://kenai.com/projects/bsaf/pages/Home I'm working on my own port that focuses on automatically making apps look and behave like first class citizens on Mac OS and taking advantage of all the cool Apple JDK features that make your app look native. The two main use cases I have in mind are : 1. People that want to write native-looking desktop apps specifically for the Mac in Java. 2. Java developers without much experience on the Mac UI can write their Java app as normal on Windows/Linux, and when deployed on Mac many OS X features will be automatically utilized without any extra work on their part. I have budgeted a lot more free time in 2011 so I'll be able to make significant progress on my own project. But for now you can use BSAF as a drop-in replacement for SAF.
