What is Griffon?
Griffon is a development framework much
like Grails. Instead of developing web applications, Griffon focuses
on desktop and rich internet applications. Developers write their
applications in a structure much like Grails and written in
the Groovy and Java Programming Languages targeting the Java platform.
Griffon aims to reduce development time by leveraging dynamic language
features in addition to automating routine development tasks via the
"Convention over Configuration" idiom.
Also, the Griffon team is running a Logo contest, find out more at http://griffon.codehaus.org/Logo+Contest.
