All, sorry to intrude, but we are looking for feedback on our new Java GUI designer, BuoyBuilder. And user groups seemed like a great place to find folks really interested in trying new toys, so we thought we'd ask your help.We apologize in advance if this offends any rules about the use of the list. We aren't soliciting sales, just feedback. :-) 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@xxxxxxxxxxx. We are a new startup in the Ann Arbor, MI area and have been in the software industry for the past 14 years or so. BuoyBuilder is free for open source projects. We will be offering a commercial license in the near future as well for those that want to use it in for commercial or enterprise IT environments. Thanks in advance for your help. Jack Rosenzweig
