Alternatives for GUI Desktop with Karaf ?

[Cristiano Gavião <cv...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I'm researching alternatives for a rapid desktop development with java 
and karaf.

Well, until now I only know one real possibility:
- Java 6 Swing: it isn't so rapid to dev (too much code), but this could 
be minimized using some good layout framework and the help of some IDE 
as Netbeans (Swing Editor) or Eclipse (WindowBuilder Plugin);

One alternative is Eclipse RCP: I didn't like RCP first time I've tried 
it two years ago, but I've played with new E4 gui features today and it 
is now much easier than the old one, but I really don't know yet if it 
would be used with Karaf, would it ?

Any suggestion, experiences and comments will be welcome...

thanks and cheers

Cristiano

Or my preference, not forcing the developers into any particular IDE, or 
any IDE at all.  Something like glade, but for swing rather than gtk, 
would be pretty sweet.
