+## JRuby Swing Desktop Development GUI Library
+[![Gem Version](https://badge.fury.io/rb/glimmer-dsl-swing.svg)](http://badge.fury.io/rb/glimmer-dsl-swing)
+[![Join the chat at https://gitter.im/AndyObtiva/glimmer](https://badges.gitter.im/AndyObtiva/glimmer.svg)](https://gitter.im/AndyObtiva/glimmer?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge)
+
+[Glimmer](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer) DSL for [Swing](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/) enables building desktop applications with [Java Swing](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/), [Java AWT](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/awt/index.html), [Java Foundation Classes](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/start/about.html) and [Java 2D](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/2d/index.html) via [JRuby](https://www.jruby.org/).
+
+There has been a great divide between two big GUI toolkits in Java in the past:
+- [Eclipse SWT](https://www.eclipse.org/swt/)
+- [Java Swing/AWT/JFC/2D](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/)
+
+[Glimmer](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer) intentionally avoided [Swing](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/)-like GUI toolkits in the past because they produced non-native looking graphical user interfaces that not only looked out of place in various operating systems, but also degraded usability, user experience, and the professional look of applications significantly, especially given that unlike [SWT](https://www.eclipse.org/swt/), [Swing](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/) performance is affected by [Java Garbage Collection](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/troubleshoot/performissues003.html) pauses. As such, [Glimmer DSL for SWT](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-swt) was initially born as the premiere [Glimmer](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer) DSL.
+
+That said, from a balanced software engineering point of view, there are sometimes non-functional requirements that might target [Swing](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/) as an appropriate GUI toolkit solution. Like in the case of extending legacy [Swing](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/) applications or developing rare applications that require fully custom looking graphical user interfaces (typically not recommended), such as traffic control planning or diagramming applications. In the latter case, it would not matter whether to use [SWT](https://www.eclipse.org/swt/) or [Swing](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/) as they both provide support for building non-native components (in addition to native widgets in the case of [SWT](https://www.eclipse.org/swt/)).
+
+[Glimmer DSL for Swing](https://rubygems.org/gems/glimmer-dsl-swing) aims to supercharge productivity and maintainability in developing [Swing](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/) applications by providing a DSL similar to [Glimmer DSL for SWT](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-swt) having:
+- Declarative DSL syntax that visually maps to the GUI component hierarchy
+- Convention over configuration via smart defaults and automation of low-level details
+- Requiring the least amount of syntax possible to build GUI
+- Custom Keyword support
+- Bidirectional Data-Binding to declaratively wire and automatically synchronize GUI with Business Models
+- Scaffolding for new custom components, apps, and gems
+- Native-Executable packaging on Mac, Windows, and Linux.
+
+Hello, World!
+
+![screenshots/glimmer-dsl-swing-mac-hello-world.png](screenshots/glimmer-dsl-swing-mac-hello-world.png)
+
+```ruby
+jframe('Hello, World!') {
+  jlabel('Hello, World!')
+}.show
+```
+
+NOTE: Glimmer DSL for Swing is currently in early alpha mode (incomplete proof-of-concept). Please help make better by contributing, adopting for small or low risk projects, and providing feedback. It is still an early alpha, so the more feedback and issues you report the better.

+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- JDK 8 (find at https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/#java8)
+- [RVM](http://rvm.io) on Mac & Linux (not available on Windows)
+- JRuby 9.2.19.0 (supporting Ruby 2.5.x syntax) (get via [RVM](http://rvm.io) on Mac and Linux by running `rvm install jruby-9.2.19.0`; On Windows, find at [https://www.jruby.org/download](https://www.jruby.org/download))
+
+Note: On the Mac, if you have [Glimmer DSL for SWT](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-swt) installed, and it added `export JRUBY_OPTS="$JRUBY_OPTS -J-XstartOnFirstThread"` to your `.zprofile`, `.zshrc`, `.bash_profile`, or `.bashrc`, make sure to disable it before using Glimmer DSL for Swing. Unfortunately, it is not compatible with it and will hang its apps until disabled.
+
+## Setup
+
+### Option 1: Install
+
+Run this command to install directly:
+```
+gem install glimmer-dsl-swing
+```
+
+### Option 2: Bundler
+
+Add the following to `Gemfile`:
+```
+gem 'glimmer-dsl-swing', '~> 0.0.1'
+```
+
+And, then run:
+```
+bundle
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Require the library and mixin the `Glimmer` module to utilize the Glimmer GUI DSL for Swing:
+
+```ruby
+require 'glimmer-dsl-swing'
+
+include Glimmer
+
+jframe('Hello, World!') {
+  jlabel('Hello, World!')
+}.show
+```
+
+## Girb (Glimmer IRB)
+
+You can run the `girb` command (`bin/girb` if you cloned the project locally):
+
+```
+girb
+```
+
+This gives you `irb` with the `glimmer-dsl-gtk` gem loaded and the `Glimmer` module mixed into the main object for easy experimentation with GUI.
+
+## Samples
+
+### Hello Samples
+
+#### Hello, World!
+
+![screenshots/glimmer-dsl-swing-mac-hello-world.png](screenshots/glimmer-dsl-swing-mac-hello-world.png)
+
+```ruby
+require 'glimmer-dsl-swing'
+
+include Glimmer
+
+jframe('Hello, World!') {
+  jlabel('Hello, World!')
+}.show
+```
+
+#### Hello, Button!
+
+![screenshots/glimmer-dsl-swing-mac-hello-button.png](screenshots/glimmer-dsl-swing-mac-hello-button.png)
+
+```ruby
+require 'glimmer-dsl-swing'
+
+include Glimmer
+
+jframe('Hello, Button!') {
+  @button = jbutton('Click To Increment: 0') {
+    on_action_performed {
+      button_text_match = @button.text.match(/(.*)(\d+)$/)
+      count = button_text_match[2].to_i + 1
+      @button.text = "#{button_text_match[1]}#{count}"
+    }
+  }
+}.show
+```

+
+### Issues
+
+If you encounter [issues](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-swing/issues) that are not reported, discover missing features that are not mentioned in [TODO.md](TODO.md), or think up better ways to use [Swing](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/) than what is possible with [Glimmer DSL for Swing](https://rubygems.org/gems/glimmer-dsl-swing), you may submit an [issue](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-swing/issues/new) or [pull request](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-swing/compare) on [GitHub](https://github.com). In the meantime while waiting for a fix, you may try older gem versions of [Glimmer DSL for Swing](https://rubygems.org/gems/glimmer-dsl-swing) in case you find one that does not have the issue and actually works.

+[TODO.md](TODO.md)
+
+## Change Log
+
+[CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md)
+
+## Contributing
+
+-   Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been
+    implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet.
+-   Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't
+    requested it and/or contributed it.
+-   Fork the project.
+-   Start a feature/bugfix branch.
+-   Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution.
+-   Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it
+    in a future version unintentionally.
+-   Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If
+    you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that
+    is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick
+    around it.
