Straightforward wrappers for javax.swing Components that simplify Swing code in JRuby-based GUI applications.

This code is NOT production-ready! For production-ready code, try something like Rubeus: [github.com/akm/rubeus]. Personally, I’ve tried to use Rubeus and its auto-magic worked great for some use-cases, but I had problems extending its code when I needed to change default Rubeus behavior. For the life of me, I cannot figure out where all this Rubeus magic happens and how to change ANYTHING without the whole stage with smoke and mirrors falling down on me.

Maybe it’s just me - but I’m uncomfortable with complicated code and prefer much more straightforward solutions. So, I intend this lib to be straightforward - even at the expense of performance.

Library adds extended functionality to original javax.swing classes, such as:

• Ability to set attributes via constructor options: Swing::JButton.new ‘Title’, :enabled => false

• Ability to define settable attributes/properties via attr_setter class macro, as well as (optional) defaults for them that may be different from Swing’s original defaults

• Auto adding component to parent if ops is given to initializer

• FIXME (list of requirements)

$ sudo gem install swing
