Wow.  Quite the storm!  Oh well.

I guess I should clarify a bit.

I _am_ using monkeybars (and therefore NetBeans) to create my GUI.  It's 
pretty good.  My second choice would be Glade(Is there a way for Glade 3 
to be used?).  It's still a little hit or miss though in NetBeans.  I 
put some controls down and the rest _move_ ... even after I put a panel 
in.  Of course it could be that I'm an idiot and I don't know how to 
make a GUI with it. :p  The more I use it the more I'll get used to 
those quirks.

I also don't care if the GUI itself is written in Ruby.   The GUI could 
be written in LOGO for all I care.  I just want to write an app, click a 
button and have some Ruby code execute behind it.

Q: If I write a swing GUI in NetBeans can I then copy that somehow to a 
ruby project(using Monkeybars somehow)?  Or do I have to start from 
scratch every time.  I¡Çm also not entirely sure how to create a project 
with _two_ or more forms.

My GUI first app is either going to be a pared down media library/grep 
tool for people who like to download (open source of course!) shows and 
ask themselves, ¡ÈDo I download that show? Or do I have it already?¡É  I'm 
using JRuby, Monkeybars, NetBeans and Postgres.  I'm not too sure about 
Activerecord yet and I find SQL rather trivial so I'm accessing the db 
directly.

My first Ruby script (which made me fall in love with Ruby) transcoded 
all of the avi files in a directory to 320x200 in _1_ line of code.

I'm just trying to have fun. :p
