I have started working on a client container project. Its goal is to simplify swing developement, by leveraging an Inversion of Control (IoC) container, Picocontainer, and Java 5.0 annotations, and the JGoodies libraries.
Version 0.1 has been released, and there is a little demo where you can test it and see how it works. Please help me on this project by providing feedback and ideas.

Sample code:
@VisualFeedback({VisualClue.MANDATORY_BACKGROUND})
@Localisation(resource="customer_view")
public class CustomerView extends JPanel {
@Required
@StringValidation(lengthMoreThan=2, lengthLessThan=8, format="
w*")
private JTextField name = new JTextField();
@Required
private JTextField company = new JTextField();
@TypeValidation("email")
private JFormattedTextField email = new JFormattedTextField();
@TypeValidation("phone")
private JFormattedTextField phone = new JFormattedTextField();
private JLabel nameResult = new JLabel();
private JLabel companyResult = new JLabel();
private JLabel emailResult = new JLabel();
private JLabel phoneResult = new JLabel();
private JButton save = new JButton();
@Init
public void initActions(CloseAction closeAction) {
save.setAction(closeAction);
}
@Init
public void initBindings(BeanBinder bb) {
bb.bind(name, Customer.PROPERTYNAME_NAME);
bb.bind(nameResult, Customer.PROPERTYNAME_NAME);

bb.bind(email, Customer.PROPERTYNAME_EMAIL);
