Hello,

I will be starting a new Swing-based GUI and have been looking at some 
existing frameworks to leverage on the UI side not only regarding the 
Widgets but also architecture-wise. I'm sure I need JIDE Grids (and other UI 
components) but I'm unsure what path to take architecture-wise without 
prolonging much longer the framework-selection decision face.

I would appreciate freedback or experiences:
- Use Spring RCP as application framework (binding, validation, etc.) then 
reuse UI components from JIDE or other third-party
- Use JGoodies as application framework (binding, validation, etc.) then 
reuse UI components from JIDE or other third-party.
- Use JIDE Application framework.

I would appreciate if people with experience in those frameworks could 
advice. I have excluded Netbeans and Eclipse SWT because they seem as 
overkill as over-complex for my needs.

TIA,
Best regards,
Giovanni
