Clickframes is a new Java Framework. You’ve heard of self-documenting code – Clickframes provides self-coding documentation. From a Clickframes XML spec, software developers can generate fully-functional, enterprise-class MVC code that’s easy to evolve as the project proceeds, and eliminates a lot of the tedious coding usually needed to get the app running and to provide minor changes in functionality.

Yuk!!! I wanna puke, It is a framework with XML all over damn, I pass.
Better checkout Apache Click framework or Apache Wicket, those are beautiful frameworks and in Java language without the mess of xml.
Vineet Manohar replied ago:
OtengiM, your point taken, but XML is used to write application requirements/specification - which is much better than a Word Document for the same purpose. The code is then directly generated from that XML. Once the code is generated, developers work with the generated code, not the original XML. The appspec XML should change only if the requirements change.

OtengiM, Clickframes is a lot more than just a Java application platform. The idea was to create a nice, separate, distinct mechanism for managing application requirements, and then using that "single source of truth" to build a whole range of different artifacts. That includes Java code, but also documentation, test scripts and CLIPs, which are interactive previews of the application.
If you want to build your code in Wicket, then it would be pretty easy to build a Wicket generator that works from the base requirements (we've already done one for PHP/CodeIgniter).

Weird how four upvoters are new users as of today and all from AOL's OpenID.
That aside, meh.
