Have a quick look at the section titled 'The Bindable Interface' in this if you haven't already http://pivot.apache.org/tutorials/bxml-primer.html
The initialize method will be called on *just* the root object of the BXML file, not on the Application. In your case the root object is a standard org.apache.pivot.wtk.Frame. So BXMLSerializer will attempt to call initialize on the 'window' variable here BXMLSerializer wtkxSerializer = new BXMLSerializer(); window = (Window) wtkxSerializer.readObject(Example.class, "GenesisClientStarter.wtkx"); Instead of using a Frame, you can extend Frame and implement Bindable. Then when the BXML is loaded by BXMLSerializer, it will call the initialize method on that custom subclass of Frame. Here is an example from the 'examples' project in the Pivot SVN repository. http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pivot/trunk/examples/src/org/apache/pivot/examples/scripting/JavaWindow.java http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pivot/trunk/examples/src/org/apache/pivot/examples/scripting/java_window.bxml Don't hesitate to ask if you have more questions.
