i may be in the minority in thinking that eventually (not as a priority, I understand) more and more of the useful stuff from Java should be wrapped ... even if it masks the documentation. File IO was the last example that I suggested putting in the core. This GUI question comes up so often, too,

Glad to hear it is a usable tutorial! It seems like lots of people coming to Clojure not coming from Java are having difficulties with GUI coding. I think a big list of GUI examples in Clojure would be the perfect remedy. @Krešimir - I think blogger was down for a bit that day, the link should b
