Public Object: Beans binding is getting simpler and better

Beans binding is getting simpler and better

I've kind of had a love-hate attitude towards the JSR-295 Beansbinding project:

love: observable lists in the JDK

hate: the observable lists' events are not fine-grained

love: binding in the JDK

hate: it requires EL, a technique lifted from JSP to embed Java-like syntax in strings

Well today, I love the project much more. Shannon Hickey has posted his plan to introduce a Property interface and to simplify binding by formalizing it as simply a managed relationship between two properties.

This change is going to make the project great! And I think that Beansbinding is going to become very important beyond Swing thanks to this change. Great work, Shannon.

Hey Jesse,

A little late (6 months!), but I thought you may be interested in an Open Source project I'm starting: it helps automate Beans Binding.

If you could spare the time to take a look at it...

...any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Richard.
