Composite Application Framework Equivalent in Java
Just wondering what the opposing framework in Java would be for creating modular GUI applications, with things like event aggregation, etc. I know for Java there isn't a single definitive GUI framework, and so far I've seen the Eclipse RCP and Netbeans Platform, however these don't seem to do these kind of things.

Displaying a View inside a Region is about 5-10 seconds slow for the first time, and UI freezes for that period in my Prism Composite WPF application.
