Luxilla now sports its very own website at sourceforge over @ http://luxilla.sourceforge.net

In case you wondered "What is Luxilla?" let me quote from the front page:

Luxilla is a "runtime" that turns Luxor XUL markup into live windows, dialogs, menus, toolbars and more without requiring a single-line of Java code. Pass on the chrome folder holding your XUL markup to Luxilla and see the XUL markup come to life. Example:

java luxilla c:/sandbox/luxilla/src/samples/chrome-calc

Nimret Sandhu has posted the slides (25+) for his Luxor XUL talk from last month's Seattle Area Java User Group (SeaJUG) meeting.

Nimret's talk agenda included:

• Types of UIs
• Rich client features
• Applets vs. Applications
• What is XUL?
• Why XUL?
• Why Luxor/XUL?
• Tools
• Backend Code
• XulManager
• Forms
• Action
• Tags
• and much more
