skeleton app for swing

Question

I'm starting a simple project in swing but i don't want to start from scratch i'm searching a basic starting point with toolbars, file menu and basic functionality that works (exit from the application, button toolbar with a simple actionListener ...). I know there are eclipse rcp and the netbeans one but they are too big for my project. I'm searching something similar to the jgoodies skeleton but it has to be opensource.

I'm not sure it's exactly what you want, but the Swing Application Framework project might be worth a look. It's "a small set of Java classes that simplify building desktop applications" rather than a "skeleton".

I haven't used it myself, so I couldn't vouch for it's usefulness.
