The XML grammar you've produced is prehaps the most straightforward approach I've seen yet. It feels very Adobe Flex-like, and I think that's a good thing. I was a bit dissapointed to see that it requires a compiler and you can't do any sort of interactive testing of a layout. That would be a BIG productivity booster, as a re-generate and recompile would not be required to test changes. The amount of XML you're parsing to construct a UI would not be that great of a performance hit, especially once the UI has been realized. Also, no Ant or Maven tasks either. I'm keeping my eye on this project. Looking for help?
