That will make cheese even more useful.
Cheese is a limited-XUI minor purpose language really. I don't intend for it to be complicated. The idea is that installer screens are always based on simple layouts. IMO it would be a mistake to make your build script have an uber-complicated UI. Yes you might want to seperate it but then you start having complexity again which is counter to the purpose of Cheese.
Anyhow, Kit is helping un-suck my UI programming (I really suck at GUIs so I autogen them with JBuilder ;-) ). We welcome assitence provided the principal of simplicity and limited-purpose is understood/kept to. (if I have to start visualizing or understanding GUI programming while writing my Ant script then something is wrong ;-) )

I don't take Cheese very seriously. I kind of thought it was a cheesy idea and had clip art for a piece of cheese (came with open office) so I named it cheese. I just couldn't find anything that did what I wanted it to do and lack of project doc for Dale's thing made it un-googleable when I searched for something similar. Its amazing that I've gotten such a positive response for something I did just as a stop-gap measure for JBoss Mail and to kind of mentally wank off in the midst of more serious programming work ;-)

Very cool ideas they are coming up with. The Cheese one is cute. I kept wondering when something like this would happen. Dale's looks interesting as well.
Some neat finds Gerald.

Let us know what you think about using Ant and a XML UI language library to create a scriptable installer.
