Not to my knowledge. The best is probably to search for open source projects using Scala
and Swing, and study how they are done, but I fear they aren't so numerous...

A starting point can be ScalaConsole: https://bitbucket.org/centaur/scalaconsole/wiki/Home
I also have House of Mirrors in my bookmarks: http://code.google.com/p/houseofmirrors/
Similar to ScalaConsole, there is ScalIDE, but it seems stuck at 2.7 (maybe not a
problem): http://code.google.com/p/scalide/
And last but not least, the VisualLangLab has a non-trivial Swing GUI: http://vll.java.net/

Hi,
you could use this as a starting point
http://www.scala-lang.org/sites/default/files/sids/imaier/Mon,%202009-11...

And you can use the java swing tutorials and scala-fy the examples
(which you should be able to do if you read the book and otherwise see
it as an exercise).

converter code for 2.9.1.final

converter.scala
===============
package converter
import swing._
import event._
object Converter extends SimpleSwingApplication {
def newField = new TextField {
text = "0"
columns = 5
}
val celsius = newField
val fahrenheit = newField

listenTo(fahrenheit, celsius)
reactions += {
case EditDone(x) if x == fahrenheit => {
val f = Integer.parseInt(fahrenheit.text)
val c = (f - 32) * 5 / 9
celsius.text = c.toString }
case EditDone(x) if x == celsius => {
val c = Integer.parseInt(celsius.text)
val f = c * 9 / 5 + 32
fahrenheit.text = f.toString }
}

def top = new MainFrame {
title = "Convert Celsius / Fahrenheit"
contents = new FlowPanel(celsius, new Label(" Celsius = "),
fahrenheit, new Label(" Fahrenheit"))
}

}
