[Glimmer](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer) DSL for [SWT](https://www.eclipse.org/swt/) enables desktop development with [Glimmer](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer).

[Glimmer](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer) is a native-GUI cross-platform desktop development library written in Ruby. Glimmer's main innovation is a JRuby DSL that enables productive and efficient authoring of desktop application user-interfaces while relying on the robust Eclipse SWT library. Glimmer additionally innovates by having built-in data-binding support to greatly facilitate synchronizing the GUI with domain models. As a result, that achieves true decoupling of object oriented components, enabling developers to solve business problems without worrying about GUI concerns, or alternatively drive development GUI-first, and then write clean business models test-first afterwards.

You may find full setup/usage instructions at the main [Glimmer project page](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer).
