I used to searched and tried lots of things for SwingBuilder because this is not a hot topic and there were not many detailed information available. I wrote my findings and experience about SwingBuilder and Miglayout in 3 articles. Here are the links in case you want to have a look.

You can try to open this page with another browser to see if it is still there. Or you can try another machine to check this page. I definitely didn't see it anywhere even if I turn of the adblock extension.
No more Blub for me, thank you, Vicar.

As to Java. Yes perhaps some folks felt or feel that Java did not deliver all that it was supposed to. What language does deliver all that some folks expect. Some folks are not happy no matter what you give them. To me Java is the greatest thing - so far as computer languages go - since sliced bread. I like some aspects in Groovy too, but as I said before, I think that Groovy also takes one, two or more steps backward in the guise of going forward, by practically eliminating strong typing, removing the need for the semi-colon (which makes Java code much clearer - oddly Groovy folks seem to think this makes Groovy code easier to read ... go figure), and generally allowing the 'shoot yourself in the foot' a lot easier. My opinion - not expected to be shared by others. In my opinion, the bad things about Java are mostly caused by the recent attempts to add in a lot of junk to the language to make it more hip (to my mind like painting my hammer candy apple red and giving it 3 moving parts) and hackers attempts to exploit it. In fact a lot of what is bad with any language or operating system is caused by hackers attempt so exploit them.
