JSF Flex goal is to provide users capability in creating standard Flex components as JSF components. So users would create the components as normal JSF components and the project will create the necessary SWC, SWF files and etcetera and link the values of the components back to the managed beans using JSON+Javascript and Actionscript. {standard Flex components has been open sourced through MPL license}
Currently many of the standard rich flex widgets (buttons, sliders, inputs [richTextEditor, textArea, ...], progressbars, colorpickers, various panels [accordion, tabBar, ...], and etcetera) have been written as intention of support.
Swing has lot of components built-in but still some are missing. This project provides the developer community with these missing components, components inspired (copied?!) from modern user interfaces.
The InfoNode Docking Windows framework allows you to create a powerful Swing GUI for your application and rich client with very little code. Just take your normal Swing components with application content and place them inside docking windows. The windows can then be arranged in advanced layouts using split windows, tab windows and floating windows. There are virtually no limitations to the window layouts you can create.
