i didn't know about that - i just installed ddwCommon. 
GenericGlobalControl doesn't have a help-file, does it? anyway, that 
looks useful too.
also i didn't look at all details within Conductor yet. CV is just 
simple and straight forward to use. Stream inheritance is great, isn't it?

as i said, this is more or less just my first try - i can imagine the 
gui can be improved a lot. btw. i didn't test this under Swing though i 
believe it should work (nothing so exotic in there).
i'm probably going to be busy for the next few weeks but when i find 
time i'd like to go on ...

thanks a lot,
