Yes, what I have in mind is that, in some point in time, parts of
clojuredev (ouch, still not decided on a new name :) will be
implemented in clojure, and so I'll have to somewhat create the same
kind of dsl for swt based "forms".
So I was challenging your dsl to see how it could make a good basis
for a cross-way to declare forms (swing based or swt based).
The idea of getting rid of explicit Swing constructors seems good to
me. The only part that remains somewhat very tied to swing in the spec
may be the :constraints specification.
Have you tried the MigLaout layout manager ? (
http://www.miglayout.com/ ). It enables one to specify layout
constraints without strong adherance to either swing or swt or a
particular swing/swt layout manager.

I'm pretty bad at finding names, so I won't give you any advice ... :-)
