GUI form code generation backend

Hello,

Are there some SPIs to add a custom code generation backend to the form
editor?

I'm curious if there is a way to generate Groovy Swing code
http://groovy-lang.org/swing.html

I doubt this will be possible. I tried some years ago to generate Groovy
code from the Swing GUI Builder, i.e., hacked the source code, etc, but
it's not been set up that way. Indeed, would be great if it were to be
extensible and other language could be plugged in.
