    Yes, I agree. The main problem is that all mainstream persitance
    frameworks - Hibernate, EJB or JDO - don't have any GUI components.
    They are pure server side frameworks. The main reason for this is that
    object oriented evangelists don't like relational databases. Therefore
    they want to hide the database structure deep down in the server. This
    makes it impossible to make db-aware GUI components.

    Because db-aware GUI components are rejected by the OO world, these
    kind of projects have very little resources. But don't give up, please
    help them instead. Besides I had a look at SwingSet and find it rather
    well-documented
    (a lot of code samples in the javadocs). And have a look at my
    project, http://butler.sourceforge.net. It is used in a production
    environment by several companies, and have tutorial, demo appliactions
    and javadocs.
