Hello,
I also have been looking for an MVC framework that would look like
EOInterface or more recently NSController so your post looks
promissing!
There are obviously several questions:
- where is Swing heading and what to expect from the JCP in the near
future?
- is it reasonnable to build directly on Swing or should we build on
SWT or another toolkit?
I see Scope didn't change in a while.
However, even if not MVC, there is buoy (http://buoy.sourceforge.net/)
which seems interesting.
Finally, I went to check on the objectstyle page and saw JStaple. I
suppose that is framework you are mentionning?
What amazes me is that middle of 2004, the Java community hasn't come
up with a solution which looks like EOInterface (key-value coding,
dynamic bindings, associations, etc...). No need to have XML files to
describe everything immediately. Already if we had the basic classes to
setup programmatically the bindings it would be great!
