Enables Apache Pivot as UI toolkit.

Apache Pivot is an open-source platform for building installable Internet applications (IIAs). It combines the enhanced productivity and usability features of a modern user interface toolkit with the robustness of the Java platform.

The following nodes will become available on a View script upon installing this plugin

Pivot has a deep listener hierarchy as opposed to the simple one found in Swing. This listener hierarchy does not follow the conventions set forth by JavaBeans, thus making it difficult to extrapolate synthetic properties based on event methods, as it happens with Swing classes. However this plugin applies a convention for wiring up listeners. Take for example Button and ButtonPressListener, the following example shows how to wire up a buttonPressed event handler.

button('Click me!') {
    buttonPressListener {
        buttonPressed = { source -> println "You pressed on button ${source}!" }
    }
}

For each listener in the Pivot listener list there's a corresponding node matching their name. For each method of such listener interface there's a variable mathing its name that may have a closure assigned to it. The closure must match the same arcguments as the method.

This plugin provides custom WindowManager and GriffonControllerActionManager implementations.
