Whoops! Arved said something about Spring and Struts in the other thread 
and I suddenly remembered that they were a factor in GUI construction - but 
forgot that they only applied in web development. Thanks for catching that! 

I've already replied to the prospective customer's email saying that we'd 
have to choose between Swing, Spring, and Struts even though it's clear he 
wanted a desktop app.  

Time for some damage control! I'd already admitted to him that I hadn't 
used Spring or Struts so hopefully he'll forgive me for not knowing that 
they were web-only....

Absolutely! I don't have a Mac and am not about to buy one out of my own 
pocket to be able to test on one.
