Hi, Thanks for sharing this new framework. I briefly looked at your site, and I have one reservation.
Web based application is different from desktop based application in which you have to maintain state information. Therefroe, taken a pure desktop based approach to web based app. might not work. Example, the Click framework mentioned: "Click also includes a library Controls which provide user interface functionality." I think it is a problem for taking html construction out of the hands of GUI designer. The controls are completely inside java program, thus, seems like blending the View and Model again together, which I think is against MVC design pattern. Also, It will be a pain you have to keep your controls up to date, as HTML standards change. If the html are maintained by the GUI designer, you, as the programmer, does not need to do anything. Lastly, it might be hard to internationalize the pages. I see you have "OK" button as an example, have you thought about how to internationalize the "OK" string? Just my 2 cents.
