Warren,
Check out Monkeybars (http://monkeybars.org), a JRuby GUI framework  
that's BYOM (Bring Your Own Model). We actually have commercial  
applications written in Monkeybars (http://getjotbot.com) that are  
driven by a database. JotBot uses Sequel for its ORM to connect to a  
local H2 (think SQLite) database, and an app I'm writing for a client  
right now is using ActiveRecord which connects to MySql. Apps written  
in Monkeybars are cross platform, and don't require your users to  
install Ruby in advance. Rawr helps bundle these apps together, so you  
can distribute native .app and .exe files for OS X and Windows.

We're on #monkeybars on freenode, and we're active on the mailing list.
