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.

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?
