Wow, cool. At a glance it looks like "yet another Swing library" for 
JRuby, but you seem to have actually put in some MVC (or at least VC) 
smarts to allow offloading the component model to external tools.

We'll probably include your approach in our JAOO talk, since it's a good 
view into "another way" to think about JRuby + Swing.
