170 +This file is needed to make up for the lack of Java Client application building by the WOLips Incremental Builder. It also copies the client launch scripts into the project so that the application will auto-launch when you run it from within Eclipse. Please follow the [[instructions>>Java Client-WebStart Incremental Build]] for how to create the Java Client Incremental Builder.

176 176  If you don't want a D2JC application, then you are on your own for creating the user interface for it. Your client-side application can be a command-line or GUI application. If you want a Swing GUI, then I **highly** recommend Florijan Stamenkovic's [[JBND Framework>>http://web.mac.com/flor385/JBND/]]
