RE: SWT - The LATEST great thing...

Joe,

I haven't seen where anyone is doing that, but it wouldn't be too 
hard. You can create scripting tags more easily than with ant or 
velocity and the expression language is pretty powerful. There 
are two ways I know of you might retrieve the output of the Jelly 
script, you can embed your java source in XMLOutput returned 
from a JellyContext object, or you could write your tags to open 
a shared file stream.

This is a pretty good way of generating source as long as it doesn't 
have to be modifiable along the lines of JSP. There is already a 
boat load of custom tags you can use to work with files, messaging, 
email, SWT, etc. In fact, Jelly can wrap most of the other java/xml 
scripting tools.

David, I haven't had a real good chance to review the whole project. 
I
understand the PDML-like behavior.  But can Jelly actually generate
Java
source code?  That would be a nice side-benefit.
