There had
been attempts to separate the GUI design from that of the actual coding.
This would enable different type of professionals to work on their and
increase the productivity. Designing GUI needs different skills.

The
Java GUI builder program is one such one. With this program you can
create the java GUI using an XML file. The different elements of the
XML file describe how a GUI for the application should look.
Based on
that XML file the GUI is built on the fly when the application is run.
With this method the design of the GUI is done separately and the productivity
of the organization is increased.
The latest
version of the GUI builder for Java can be downloaded from the sourceforge.net
website. The URL is http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=50316.
There are many simple tutorials on the website on how to use the XML
file to build the GUI for your java application. A simple GUI snippet
with two buttons using the java builder is given below.
<window
id="ld" type="jdialog">
<controls>
. . .
. . .
<panel>
<button id="ok" text="Ok" mnemonic="o"
/>
<button id="cancel" text="Cancel" mnemonic="c"
/>
</panel>
</controls>
</window>
You can
check the website for more details on this approach to create a GUI.
