BeansBinding, JGoodies Binding, JFace or Glazed Lists?

Question

I started exploring the binding beans , and my head starts to spin. There are so many options, but this is a central design decision that is difficult to change. I have a set of interconnected POJOs that I want to edit using a graphical interface. What is my best option for a stable and easy deployment? If there is not a single good solution, do you combine these options together?

Here are the current rivals:

• BeansBinding (aka JSR295)
• JGoodies Binding (BSD License)
• JFace (Eclipse Public License?)
• Glazed Lists (LGPL License)

Share your experiences with these libraries. Especially if you tried one and switched to another.

Answer 1

I used all of the above except JFace. Started with JGoodies and found it to be a little difficult to use. BeansBinding was easier to understand, but support for list operations is pretty poor. Enter glazed lists. GL is one of the best open source libraries I've ever used. They recently added a PluggableList implementation that allows GlazedLists to bind to a property list from a POJO using a BeansBinding. The result is the best of both worlds.
