Marlin: Building JME apps quickly using XML markup

Marlin is a development tool lets you build data-driven JME mobile applications quickly and easily using a declarative XML markup. It is heavily inspired by OpenLaszlo - an excellent platform for building rich, data-driven Flash applications for the web.

Marlin is essentially a code generator - it comes with an Ant task for converting the XML markup into Java code which can then be compiled, preverified and deployed.

Marlin has been designed to simplify the development of a specific type of mobile application - those which interact with XML based web services. By limiting the scope in this way Marlin can hide many of the repetitive and error prone aspects of developing this sort of application in the components that it offers.
