The wingS project has just released version 2.0 of its framework with lots of major improvements.

wingS is a component based web framework resembling the Java Swing API with its MVC paradigm and event oriented design principles. It utilizes the models, events, and event listeners of Swing and organizes the components as a hierarchy of containers with layout managers.

Selected features of wingS 2.0 are:

   * Comprehensive set of widgets including trees, tables, tabbed panes menus and more.
   * Highly flexible dynamic layout managers
   * Drag & Drop support
   * Component context menus and tooltips
