WindowBuilder & qooxdoo [message #700629]

Hello,

Is it possible to create a gui with windowbuilder (using swt, rwt, xwt, or ...) and convert it to javascript code allowing to build a qooxdoo application?

Thanks

WindowBuilder can be used to create SWT, RCP and RAP applications.

RAP is implemented in qooxdoo as I understand it.

yes I know that, thanks. You can create a rap application and open it in a web browser to see the qooxdoo javascript source code. Unfortunatelly this js code is not usable to create an other qooxdoo application: the js code is very big an I can't find if there is a part describing the gui that can be used in a qooxdoo application.

The qx-code in RAP is only the widget code because the widget creation
is coming from the server.

qooxdoo is a JS-Framework so what you need is a GWT port which uses
qooxdoo. I've written an maintain such a thing named QxWT but that won't
help you either as of now because there's no WindowBuilder support
developed for it.

just for clarification:

It looks like you didn't understand how RAP is working because the only
thing you find in the js-code of RAP is the widget definitions.

The UI (or better said the widget-instances) is created through
ajax-request by qooxdoo having the UI-Code which is Java living at the
server side.

To make WindowBuilder able to create qooxdoo UIs you need 2 things:
* a wrapper for qooxdoo for GWT
* an extension to WindowBuilder deal with wrapped widgets

both of them are technically possible:
* Wrapper is named QxWT (we are just updating to latest 1.5 while I'm
writing this answer)

* WindowBuilder for GWT is available - "all" you need is the extension
which teaches WindowBuilder the qooxdoo widgets and because all
this stuff is opensource you are free to try writing such a thing
your own but be aware of the fact that this is not a trivial task

I know that WindowBuilder for GWT once supported Ext GWT not sure if
it still does but that might help you writing something for QxWT as
well

Thanks but I search something easy to do.
I hoped to find a gui builder (better than existing ones for qooxdoo) that will generate some code (I can use windowbuilder to generate some XML for example(or swt or gwt)) that will be easily converted to qooxdoo source code.
