Show HN: Sierra, a DSL for building Java Swing applications

I really like the examples: a screenshot of what the thing looks like, with a link to the corresponding source code right next to it! I think all UI component frameworks (or DSLs, I guess) should have something like that.

Some webdev libraries/frameworks have gone a step further and include code in the same page (though maybe it could/should be collapsed by default sometimes).

I generally prefer links since otherwise the code and examples can easily get out of sync.

I really like this as a casual user that is going to just scroll through the page and see what it looks like - I wouldn't go out of my way to click on the examples.

This might be useful as an overview of what it is more then live examples
