Yayoi やよい

Yayoi is a GUI annotation framework and provides/allows:

• Swing and AWT implementation of basic GUI components: Component, Container, Collection, Window, Layout and Listener (Collection is a collection of components on which the user has no control over its layout, e.g. Swing menus);
• components are all lazily loaded;
• setting essential component properties, Reactions (size, location, centered, etc.);
  • a reaction can depend on another one of the same component (e.g. centered depends on size);
• executing actions on multiple components, Actions (as of now layout setting, doLayout);
• registering listeners on components with listenable:
  • a default WindowAdapter is already registered with lowest precedence (needed for application shutdown) if and only if a exitOnClose has been set on a window declaration;
• firing of Spring Event when basic component properties are set (on AWT Thread);
• enabling component construction using object, method and class notation (e.g. ValueDeclaration, FunctionDeclaration and ClassDeclaration) within a package;
• autowiring of components constructed using class notation;
• defining a custom log writer;
  • a default log writer is already registered;
• visitor structure on component, container, collection and window;
• layout construction on container declaration;
• autowiring support for components with named and for any other beans with autowired or qualifier annotations on method parameters;
• defining Settings, top level class, method or object holding a reference to an object the user decide to use where he wants:
  • Look and Feel setting;
• defining Collectors for collecting internal values of components (using collectable and collecting annotation);
• default collectors:
  • JFrame|JDialog collect/remove JMenuBar;
  • Frame collect/remove MenuBar;
  • JFrame|JDialog|JWindow collect/remove Container;
  • Frame|Dialog|Window collect/remove Container;
  • SystemTray collect/remove TrayIcon;
  • TrayIcon collect/remove PopupMenu;
  • JMenuBar collect/remove JMenu;
  • MenuBar collect/remove Menu;
  • JMenu collect/remove JMenuItem;
  • Menu collect/remove MenuItem;
  • Container collect/remove Component;
  • Window collect/remove WindowListener;
  • AbstractButton collect/remove ActionListener;
  • MenuItem collect/remove ActionListener;
  • JComponent collect/remove JPopupMenu;
  • Component collect/remove MouseListener;
  • Component collect/remove MouseMotionListener;
• abstract collections (Containers, Collections and Windows) are now mutable maps of components;
• abstract components deal now with mutable maps of listeners;
• automatically validating all the hierarchy whenever it is all invalidated;
• ordering components of ordering annotated abstract collections;
• scanning of Spring components contained in Yayoi packages.

Yayoi is written in Ceylon and is built on top of Spring
