• @Bindable and ASTTransformations
• short binding syntax
• numerous enhancements made to SwingBuilder and FactoryBuilderSupport

Documentation

An example application can be found at http://github.com/aalmiray/TridentDemo/tree/master, it recreates some of Trident's samples in a friendly Griffon manner.

These are the nodes currently supported by TridentBuilder 0.56, they are listed in groups. Component groups are a good way to organize nodes, they also serve another purpose when used with Griffon's CompositeBuilder.

...

• actionTriggerFor - its value must be a Timeline reference. This attribute makes the owner the source of the trigger event.

Exmaple:

   button("One", id: "button", foreground: Color.BLUE)
  timeline(button, duration: 2500, id: 't') {
      interpolatedProperty("foreground", from: Color.BLUE, to: Color.RED)
      mouseTrigger(event: 'enter', autoReverse: true)
  }
  button('Two', id: 'b1', actionTriggerFor: t)
