This sounds like a brilliant idea.

As is also well-known the JFC (SwingSet) is based on MVC. I have used Swing
to build JUMBO2. (I can't say I find it easy, because there are a zillion
classes, but I accept it's 'right' :-)

There might also be an XML-DEV virtual activity where we remove part of the
algorithm and part of the data from the conventional program and
externalise them. I am very keen to represent behaviour ('actions') in XML
files rather than hardcoded. But it needs someone cleverer than me :-)
