I want to create GUI components from XSD files. The generated GUIs should be used for concrete xml instances of the corresponding schema with databinding to "interesting" elements or attributes content. I have considered these solutions:

  1. jaxfront. (commercial tool). This does not generate source code. This is important for me because I want communication between the generated GUIs and other components of the GUI.

  2. Use xsd2emf and try to generate an editor from that. The generated model is to complex, as well as the generated editor and it is buggy.

  3. Do it myself e.g. generate an xml from the xsd, load xml as dom, select the interessting parts and generate data binding using one method described at http://www.vogella.de/eclipse.html.

Has anyone another idea or already successfully solved that problem? I would prefer a free open source solution which generates a SWT GUI.
