What I'm working (just as a hobby initially) on is a UI component model, 
that I hope will be usable for both web and desktop apps. I'm 
concentrating on the web first, but when that side is working, I want to 
explore "rendering" that component model into Swing or SWT widgets.

Maybe we can collaborate in the future, but at the moment I'm spending 
very little time on this.

Sadly, no.
