I'm not a big gui/swing person, so I don't think I can lend much code or advice on that front, but I would like to help with the adding remote sources via a gui. At least as defining these via a gui plugin mechanism. I have not had a chance to look at it very hard, but it sounds like the commons-discovery code has a way to search for "plugins" in the classpath. We could use that to look for the "gui plugins" and add them to the chainsaw gui dynamically. That way, when developers create new Receivers, they can also develop a chainsaw plugin and chainsaw can use them without modification.
