The Obj2GUI automatically generates the GUI code that corresponds to an existing instance of an object and thus helps developers to gain time in the first phase of the GUI development.
Being developed using Java, Obj2GUI is a cross-platform utility that can be used on any operating system that comes with Java support (e.g. Mac OS X, Windows, Linux).
Detailed instructions on how to install and use the Obj2GUI utility on your Mac are available HERE.
