title: GUI frameworks for Java
body: <p>I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions of frameworks to give an old desktop application a much needed facelift.
  The application has had a long life without anyone giving any attention to its exterior resulting in a monster with an 80s look.</p>
  
  <p>I've just downloaded and tried <a href="http://mydoggy.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">MyDoggy</a> framework for making windows floatable and dockable. So I'm looking similar for quick and easy fixes that will bring a dead looking application back to life.</p>
