gui4j
gui4j is a framework for describing Java Swing GUIs completely in XML. The GUI is created dynamically based on the XML definitions. Each GUI window is associated with exactly one top-level XML file. Each XML file can dynamically include other XML files to support complex GUI definitions. Each XML file is associated with a Java object that acts as both a Controller and a Model for the GUI. There is a strong layer separation between the GUI and the Controller: GUI definitions in the XML files can access all Java methods of the Controller, but Java methods cannot access any GUI elements directly. Events are used to trigger changes in the GUI. It requires Java 1.4.0 or higher.

The SourceCode of the gui4j project has moved to the CVS service of sourceforge.
Have a look at the current version (developing towards 1.2) which adds support for toolbars and "simpleInternalFrames" as well as the possibility to change a matrix cell's foreground and background colors dynamically based on the cell's content.
