Description

SwingBuilder sports a bean() capable of wiring an existing bean instance into the build process. OGB can't do that.
It will be great to have this feature as a developer will be able to tweak any bean instance using the builder syntax

Company acme = ... // fetch company from a webservice perhaps??
ogb.bean(acme) {
   // add a few employees more
   employee(name: "Duke")
   employee(name: "Tux")
}
