Free swing life away lyrics software for linux

Swing Glue is an ultra thin layer that allows to decouple view, controller and model into separate individual domains.
It as not just another framework as you might think now. It is an very generic layer that has a minimal impact to the application where swing glue is used.
Main features:
- Object repository that minimizes transport of references
- automatic population of Adhesive class members from the repository
- abstraction of view code and event code
- no wrapping component classes, you still use the normal Swing classes
Swing Glue is proof for the legend that a framewok does not necessarly has to be a Bloat of code that helps you to simplify your development.
It also works with a simple framework that is non evasive and has a very simple code base.

Wiki-Lyrics is a collection of lyrics scripts to interface with various sites and, optionally, submit content to Lyriki.com or LyricWiki.org (wikis for lyrics). All of these scripts can query the other ones when they cant provide the lyrics for a song.
Supported sites:
- Lyriki (www.lyriki.com)
- LyricWiki (www.lyricwiki.org)
- AZ Lyrics (www.azlyrics.com)
- Jamendo (www.jamendo.com)
- Leos Lyrics (www.leoslyrics.com)
- Lyrc (lyrc.com.ar)
- Not Popular (www.notpopular.com)
- Sing365 (www.sing365.com)
- Terra Letras (letras.terra.com.br)

Local Lyrics is a python based amaroK-script requires amaroK 1.4!

I wrote simple wrappers for dcop-calls (using the shell-tool dcop), kdialog and amaroKs script system while writing this script. Use them if you want (its all LGPL) See the .tar.bz2s contense and: http://twoday.tuwien.ac.at/pub/stories/22759/

This lyrics-plugin simply scans a selected folder for textfiles with lyrics. This might be usefull when you have a lot of lyrics stored on your harddisc, but they are not available on lyrc.com.ar or a simmilar service.

Installation:

Open the lyrics-filesystem-x.x.amarokscript.tar.bz2 with amaroKs script managers script install option.

Usage:

Start the script with amaroKs script manager.
Select the directory in which the lyrics are stored.
The filenames of the lyrics have to be:

"artist - title.txt"
or
"title.txt"

Now amaroK will search this folder for lyrics, when there are none in its database for the current track.

Swing XML Authoring Tool is a Swing-based authoring tool for the quick and easy development of GUI Java applications.
It implements out-of-box a true MVC framework and uses XML to define the view (SwiXml is used as the XUL engine), BeanShell as a scripting language for the controller, and JXPath as the binding mechanism between the view and model.
Swing XML Authoring Tool provides a complete environment in which it is possible to almost write an entire Java Swing application without writing Java compiled code. The use of XPath makes it very simple to traverse the object tree of the applications business model.
It takes a lot of work to develop a Swing application, laying out and configuring GUI components, and then integrating them with the application functionality. SwiXAT addresses both of these issues by providing a framework based on a complete implementation of the MVC architectural pattern.
The benefits obtained by a such framework are the followings:
- Architectural Correctness: By adopting a true MVC (Model View Controller) based framework, it is very easy to correctly implement any UI application. Its not difficult to write a Java/Swing application, but whats very difficult is to build a good, well designed Swing application, where the adoption of the MVC paradigm permits to reduce the maintenance costs, thanks to the clean separation between the view and the application logic.
- Development Speed: The adoption of a framework reduces the development cost by providing out-of-box, well integrated and easy to use common features, like wizards, plugins, support for MDI interfaces, etc. Moreover, the use of XML to define the user interface, as well as the adoption of an interpreted scripting language, permits to implement the Code&Test development style, where the compilation time is reduced to zero.
- Code Reuse: The net separation between the view and the control logic permits to write reusable modules that can be combined in several manners. The developer is naturally induced to modularize the application and write reusable code, minimizing the effort of building new applications or adding new functionality to existing ones.
SwiXAT is all the above, and we hope youll appreciate our effort.

SwingWT is a 100% pure Java library which aims to be a free implementation of Swing and AWT. Unlike Swing, SwingWT drives native peer widgets for your platform from SWT. You can see a screenshot of the basic SwingWT demo here (Linux/GTK2) and here (MacOSX).
Main features:
- More responsive GUIs and faster startup times
- Less RAM usage for applications
- Many developers prefer the Swing API
- Existing Swing applications dont need to be recoded
- Mature Swing UI designers can be used
- Developers deploying to *nix/Win32 can compile natively with GCJ and the applications can be distributed without a VM. Linux distribution makers could package many existing Java/Swing applications that previously could not be distributed in workable state.
- SWT components can be directly accessed through the API, allowing mix and match (make Eclipse plugins with Swing!)
- All platform benefits such as font sub-pixel decimation for LCD monitors (unavailable in Swing)
- Use Swing on mobile devices!
- The best of both worlds! New Swing components for JClosableTabbedPane, JCoolBar, JTaskTrayItem..
- A FREE implementation of Swing you can redistribute and modify to suit your own requirements
- Insulation from changes to the SWT APIs
- Insulation from differences between SWT platforms
Enhancements:
- This release contains many fixes and compatibility improvements, including support for AudioClip and SWT 3.2.

This is my first amaroKs plugin that fetch lyrics from the amazing letras.mus.brs database. Its quite simple and can (no doubt) be improved.

Terra Letras (lyrics plugin) also store displayed lyrics in your homedir so that you can sing along even offline.

To stop fetching lyrics only in brazilian portuguese you have to change the default value of the "locale" variable in the very begining of the shell script.

Its not possible to configure it using a GUI, for now.

Lyriki-Lyrics used to be a lyrics plugin to interface with lyriki.com. Its been now completely rewritten and extended to form a collection of lyric scripts. Whats interesting about these scripts is that they query the other scripts when they cant provide the lyrics for a song.

Support for other sites its also pretty trivial to add (only a few methods have to be implemented) and ill be porting all the existing plugins in not much time. Check out the code if you want to help.

Also included theres a special plugin, Lyriki Submit, which can add missing lyrics to Lyriki.com (a Lyriki account is needed to use it). If you dont want to submit lyrics you can still use the simple Lyriki script (it will still take care of querying the other scripts when needed).
