Introduction

Java-Swul is a domain-specific language (DSL) for creating Java SWING user interfaces. The Java-Swul language is embedded in Java. In this fasion it provides a concrete syntax for creating SWING objects.

The Java-Swul package enables you to transform Java code with embedded Java-Swul code to Java code. In this tranformation the Java-Swul is assimilated into the surrounding Java. Giving you the power of Java with an easy and straightforward way to create user interfaces.

The Swul part of the name comes from SWING userinterface language and combined with Java makes Java-Swul. It was first contrived when developing the MetaBorg method.
