The Swing JavaBuilder Book - Achieving maximum productivity with minimum code via declarative UI

I've just release 0.3 ALPHA of the Swing JavaBuilder, whose aim is to dramatically improve the productivity of Swing development via declarative UIs in YAML (and thus give us a better option than that infernal JavaFX thingy).

One of the biggest deliverables of this new release is the first build of the Swing JavaBuilder PDF book that aims to provide a more thorough documentation of the project's goals and features.

Hope you will all find it useful:

(the PDF book is in the root of the ZIP)

It is still missing the section on layout management using MigLayout
http://code.google.com/p/javabuilders/wiki/LayoutDSL

but that will be merged into the PDF soon.
