Anyone with a good Java example of something that Rails does on the
Web, but for the desktop applications? What I am thinking of is - is
there a tool (or whatever else - script, framework, ...) that can
greatly help making desktop applications as (or nearly as) easily as
Rails does the job for Web applications? For example, you can do a
cookbook application in an hour (http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/
2005/01/20/rails.html). Is there something with similar functionality,
that allows you to apply good design patterns (e.g. MVC) and still not
make you write tons of lines of code for doing that?
Consider some simple example as the given Web cookbook example. Can
you make your models, controllers and views easily with some tool? Can
you have Observer pattern done easily (even though it is not
implemented in the Web cookbook example), so your models are observed
easily? Can you make your views quickly and connect them to your
controllers and then controllers to your models, without the need to
write all the skeleton code that serves nothing except to glue the
things together (and thus is pretty generic)? I am not aware of such -
any idea how you would do an application - or better - how did you do
your last desktop application? How much time did you spend? Any
guidelines in this regard?
