Groovy supports a form of rapid swing ui prototyping using their
SwingBuilder interface. You could possibly use this as an
alternative. There is also a GroovySWT library that works in a
similar fashion.

But, with all that said, note I said "quickly mock-up and

and that the entities and relationships, delete-rules, and
optionality I thought were proper on paper, actually work in
practice. If they don't work (generate exceptions or are just
"clunky"), I can make a change to the EOModel, rebuild and have a
new app based on the new structure _literally_ within seconds
without writing/rewriting/refactoring ANY code. The only thing
better than Eclipse's refactoring tools, is not needing to
refactor at all. Once I have tested and proved the model, it makes
web development so much easier because I can simply concentrate on
the logic and the UI.
As an FYI and a bit OT, an architecture similar to D2JC is
supported via Cayenne Remote Object Persistence framework:
http://cayenne.apache.org/doc/remote-object-persistence-guide.html
But alas - we don't deal with the Swing part of the equation, only
with getting your objects, relationships and queries across the
wire. IIRC rapid UI prototyping is still not an option in a Swing
land.
