Thinlet: Java GUI toolkit

Thinlet is a Java GUI that replaces the now standard Java Swing graphics library. Thinlet provides a GUI environment that is specified by properties in an XML file separating the business logic layer from the graphical layer of your application. The XML format used is the standardised XUL (XML User interface Language) which is also used to display all graphical elements in Mozilla and Firefox browsers.

Thinlet follows the current trend to define user interfaces with XML. It has been reported that Microsoft will also be following this model in their new operating system (codenamed Longhorn), which is using XAML to define application user interfaces.
