This is a Java Swing tutorial. The Java Swing tutorial is for beginners and intermediate Swing developers. After reading this tutorial, you will be able to develop non-trivial Java Swing applications.
a Java framework for auto-generating fancy Swing GUIs via introspection that display objects directly to the user. The core idea is based on a book and implementation of a quite similar framework called "Naked Objects", but it is a complete clean-room imp
Swirrel is a little framework (in alpha state) which allows to annotate AWT or Swing Components instead of writing listeners. Swirrel reads the annotations and attaches the aproriate listeners automatically. All you have to do is to provide the name of the methods which should be called by the Swirrel listener.
Swirrel is a double edged sword, it can make things much easier, but you can shoot yourself in the foot (hey, a sword you can shoot with!). Please consider carefully if Swirrel is right for you and your project, especially if it contains deeply nested, complex, dynamic and/or time critical GUIs. Note that using Swirrel requires more testing, as things that caused compile time errors before cause runtime errors now. That said I must say Swirrel runs much smoother than I expected.

The Doolin framework allows the rapid development of Swing applications. It uses the Spring framework as a support for its configuration and extensibility.
In this article, an excerpt from <em>iText in Action</em> (Manning Publications, December 2006), author Bruno Lowagie shows how easy it is to export any Swing component to PDF using iText's PdfGraphics2D object.
Jspresso is an innovative framework for building rich internet applications. Jspresso dramatically reduces the development cycles needed to get your corporate application up and running while not sacrificing quality, robustness and performance. Jspresso is not just another webapp framework. Jspresso based applications offer the exact same ergonomics as desktop applications while keeping an N-tier, server-centric architecture on a java backend. Jspresso-based applications can be deployed either in Adobe's Flex, qooxdoo, WingS, ULC and Swing, all on the same codebase and without a single specific line of GUI code. And last but not least, Jspresso is free.
