Andrew,

I am trying to figure out the same in last two days. I have a swing GUI app, I would 
like to be driven by an XML file. Spend few hours yesterday looking at XUL and related 
technologies. I liked the control definitions in XUL but not the layout. The layout 
are all driven by hbox and vbox models.

My current thinking is like this...

1. Define my screens in XUL kind of XML files. Controls, their relationships and 
boundaries and validations
2. Define my own tags to simulate SpringLayout rather than hbox and vbox.
3. Write my own framework to build this gui from the XML file.

Let me know if you any other ideas.

Ravi

Dear All

I have a requirement to build a GUI completely dynamically. I have an XML
DOM containing a hierarchy of controls and their associated attributes for
which I wish to render using some kind of API, which is hopefully of the
lightweight variety. Any ideas?
