Technically speaking this has been the most challenging builder to write so far, as many of the macwidgets components are not really JComponents themselves (due to a design choice consciously made by Ken to keep a low profile on the public contract), they also require that their dependent content be created beforehand, which poses a problem with the builder pattern. Fortunately this is where the power of FactoryBuilderSupport comes in, by allowing storage of temporal data in contexts per node, and specific build life cycle hooks. This is also a "kick the tires" release (like FlamingoBuilder 0.1) as I'm sure there are a couple of missing features, most notably the ability for bottomBar/statusBar/unifiedTabBar to be draggable targets for the whole window that contains them.
As always all feedback is welcome.
Keep on Groovying! and a Happy New Year too!
