Other GUI technologies
By themselves, or as the foundation of an RCP application, Swing and SWT are not the only available base technologies for GUI development. This section reviews other GUI technologies that are related to Java, both open source and commercial. The list is partial and by no means complete.

Almost all the products listed in the table are bound to the Web browser, testifying to the enormous interest for empowering Web technology with the power of fully-fledged Java GUIs. The technologies in Table 11.5 that use declarative languages, such as XUL and Thinlets, are discussed later in this chapter.
