[GR-Jug] Feedback requested on new Java GUI design tool

[jack rosenzweig]

All, we are looking for feedback on our new Java GUI designer,  
BuoyBuilder.

BuoyBuilder is a tool for building GUI applications enabling you to  
get the most functionality out of the least amount of code.  
BuoyBuilder's philosophy is to simplify application development by  
reducing the amount of code needed to do the job. There is no fragile  
code generated to describe your GUI, an XML file holds it all. There  
is no longer any need for writing all those nasty action listeners  
that muddy your code base. There is also a great new event model that  
is much more powerful than that of Swing.

The Buoy toolkit introduces an event model that is much simpler than  
Swing's. Buoy events allow you to connect a Widget directly to an  
"action method" in your class, for an event emitted by the Widget.  
This typically eliminates the common use of anonymous inner  
"Listener" classes. Buoy events are a very important part of Buoy  
that makes BuoyBuilder possible.

So if you design Swing GUIs for work or play, please take a look at  
BuoyBuilder and let us know what you think. You can post on our  
forums www.buoybuilder.com/forums or send us email feedback at 94- 
west.com. We are a local startup in the Ann Arbor area and have been  
in the Michigan software industry for the past 14 years or so.

Thanks in advance for your help.
