As I feared, my original questions and attempts to discuss have been
misinterpreted.  I was not trying to ask "why doesn't the square peg fit
into the round hole" rather I was trying to discuss the reasons "why the
square peg wasn't a round peg to begin with?".  I will shoulder the
blame of the misinterpretation.

Should the models behind the visual components be developed and extended
separately as JavaBeans and if so, would easier access to these models
be of benefit to developers?  Is keeping the model separate from the
visual component in the IDE a good or bad thing?  Are people defining
custom models similar in responsibility to DataExpress's DataSet
Objects?  I feel that the visual components themselves have been and
will continue to be unnecessarily overburdened to also include an
interface into the model's attributes and events.  Should the details
MVC in swing survive and propagate into the day to day development, or
is it just a good idea that is best kept under the hood so to speak?

IMHO, developing a rich set of models that can easily be added to an
application that are not tied to a database would be of considerable
value.
