The free JGoodies Binding synchronizes object properties with Swing components. And it helps you represent the state and behavior of a presentation independently of the GUI components used in the interface.

The Binding works well with Presentation Model, Model-View-Presenter (MVP), and other desktop patterns.

binder.bindBeanProperty("title")        .to(titleField);
binder.bindBeanProperty("amount")       .to(amountField);
binder.bindBeanProperty("price")
      .converted(currencyConverter)     .to(priceField);
binder.bindProperty("contactsCount")
      .formatted(resultFormat)          .to(contactsLabel);
binder.bind(contacts, contactsSelection).to(contactsTable);

The Binding has been inspired by the VisualWorks ValueModel hierarchy, the PresentationModel pattern, and the Java Beans standard.
