In the java-gnome source tree there is an example at
tests/prototype/Designer.java ; you might have a look at that and give
it a try?

You're probably better off just doing that, then. To be honest, that's
what we tend to recommend; Glade always seems like such a great idea,
but pretty soon you end up needing to write code to do non-trivial work
anyway, at which point the complexity of dealing with .ui files & code
is greater than just having code.

Speaking personally,

        button = new Button();
        button.setLabel("Hello");

and 

        button = (Button) builder.getObject("button42")
        button.setLabel("Hello");

amounts to much the same thing while the latter is definitely more
fragile in the face of change. IMHO, anyway.
