New release of Swing - AJAX bridge

AjaxSwing is a web deployment platform for Java Swing applications. It allows developers to implement user interfaces using standard Swing components and to expose that user interface as pure HTML and JavaScript to the browser. AjaxSwing can be thought of as a Java to HTML converter that creates HTML and JavaScript at runtime, unlike GWT that creates it at compile time. AjaxSwing is unique in that it requires no modifications to existing Swing windows and business logic, and does not require programmers to learn any APIs outside of core Java and Swing. Users can run desktop application in a local JRE or open it as a true web application in the browser.
