Announcing Amino, a new UI toolkit for Desktop Java
A decade from now 90% of people will use phones, slates, or netbooks as their primary computing device. This is a very exciting development in the software world and promises to reshape the way we make software (check out the great stuff our lead developer is doing in his day job at Palm), but Amino isn't for that world. Amino about that 10%: the content creators who need killer desktop apps, the programmers who want great tools, and the knowledge workers who need to manage incredible amounts of information at lightning speed. Amino is the toolkit to build these apps.
Amino is a next generation graphics library and UI toolkit. Though originally built as support for Leonardo Sketch it is now it's own incubator project. Amino is an (extremely alpha) 100% open source Java library that provides:

a set of UI controls, skinnable with CSS.
Utility classes to help you build desktop apps quickly.
is extremely testable.
100% open source (BSD), redistributable, and embeddable.
100% Java, ready for use by any JVM dynamic language (Groovy, JRuby, Jython, JavaScript, JavaFX Script, etc.)
The source is available here. The JavaDocs are available here.
