Java SwingBuilder: binding done, SwingWorker done, fat trimmed

Completed work on bean binding, SwingWorker integration for long running methods. Java SwingBuilder is an attempt to bring dynamic language-type productivity to Java Swing UI development by defining the layout/event wiring/binding in a separate YAML file and leaving the Java class to focus on pure business-side code. Inspired by Groovy SwingBuilder (the concept in general), Ruby on Rails (YAML is the new JSON/XML, but leaner) and GTK+ libGlade (for the idea of keeping layout and event wiring in a separate file). End goal of the project: to blow JavaFX away and ensure pure Java is king. *grin*
