It looks like they shut the site down pretty quickly, but you can at least get google’s cached version.

I found this XUL Parser for Java. Of course, I haven’t tested it out, but maybe I’ll find a use for it since I agree with the page that XUL is a lot easier to read and code with than Java’s Swing GUI framework.
