Welcome to Hitch: Simple and powerful swing binding

Hitch simplifies the translation of values between Swing JComponents and JavaBeans/Maps. It accomplishes this through an explicit or automatic configuration that defines how and what properties and components are to be bound. The bean/map(s) that the JComponents bind to are referred to as the “Model”. The collection of JComponents that are used to collect data are collectively referred to as a “Form”. NOTE: If you are familiar with web based development the concept is similar to an html form that passes it's values into a bean. Once the configuraiton is in place values can be passed between the form and the model through a simple method call to Binder.populateForm or Binder.updateModel. Following is a simple diagram of the various pieces and flows that are part of the hitch binding process.
