Heh, heh ... thanks Guennadi that first link helps out with another problem
I am working on!

Seriously though, if the swing based tool is already pretty robust it might
make sense to follow the techniques described in [1].
EMF (with all it's utility) could still be leveraged leaving the develpment
team to simply focus on the roundtrip code between the existing models
serialization and the EMF serialization.
Tools like OMONDO and GMF are already doing this (keeping the diagram file
in-sync with the ecore file) so this should be well understood.

Hallo all,

if you want to shorten the development time and use some code of JaWE the
best way would be an integration over the Swing-Bridge of Eclipse
(org.eclipse.swt.awt). We are using the Swing-Bridge in our project and it
is working really nice. What I don't like about the solution shown on the
IBM-Site is, that a new Swing-Windows is opening. With the Swing-Bridge one
can integrate an AWT-Frame in a SWT-Composite (e.g. in the Composite of an
EditorPart).

But the best solution, in my opinion, would be a new Editor based on GEF
(e.g. without EMF in the beginning). Because, if you use the Swing-Bridge
now and create later an new Editor based on GEF you have double work. So in
my opinion it would be the best to make it right from the beginning. GEF is
a heavy framework, but I think a simple editor should be doable in a few
months.

Bye,
Martin Brenda

Martin,
I just love you, i.e. your ideas.

They are exactly what I, so far without success, insist on in my project:
- remove EMF form GEF with EMF requirement to me for initial step;
- do not throw away existing experience and code (of my company Workflow
Graphical Designer)in Swing
- the initial design, vision errors may result in desire to remake all in
the end

Tchuus,

What does worry me in this reference is the date - 2002
(and IMHO even Eclipse2.x docs/samples are not very good in Eclipse3.x)

Anybody is welcomed to share any first-hand expreience, links, opinions,
plz!

We have already integrated jawe this way indeed. I can put it in the
initial contributions but I know this is not going to be approved by
Eclipse. One responsibility of eclipse projects is to leverage
technologies of Eclipe at large. Using Swing bridge we completely close
the door to everything that makes eclipse.

I am working since a few months on this topic. We have a Swing Application
which we want to integrate in Eclipse. We decided to do this in little
steps. One of the first is to integrate the application as far as possible
over the Swing Bridge. And the results are really good. We integrated our
editor, some views, resources and the most actions so far. We hope to
release our Alpha version in February.

The really nice thing is, that we could take allmost all our existing Swing
Wizards and so on from the old application. Only some wizards for Project
and new Resource creation had be made new. The communication between AWT /
Swing and SWT is also runnig well. All events (Mouse, Keys..) are being
transfered from one toolkit to the other. The only problem is the
synchronization of the Swing and SWT thread. You often get "Invalid thread
access" messages. But this is solvable.

Gentleware also integrated their modelling tool Poseidon in Eclipse over the
Swing-Bridge. If you wanna see how it looks like, here the download page:
http://gentleware.com/downloadcenter.0.html

You need the Professional version. Their integration is not so nice (I think
they did it really fast). But I think they work on it in the future. But
here you can see that it works ;-)

The only reason why Eclipse wouldn't approve this solution is because they
are favourising SWT and there's are war between this two frameworks ;-) It's
all politics!

OK please see

This is our integration of JaWE inside eclipse.

JaWE in Eclipse as JWT milestone M0 [message #13294 is a reply to message #13241] Fri, 13 January 2006 14:19 Go to previous messageGo to next message

My vote (do I have one?) is to make such proposal.
Whether approved or not , the results will be positive to all
(and not only to Big Blues in using open source teams for their testing
team)

Would I be impolite to other contributors, if I propose to consider/move
this to
milestome M0 of JWT?

I believe its architecture is flexible or may be adjusted for other
proposals, models as tabbed views, export/import or as plug-ins like Eclipse
itself. At least, I see in this way cooperation in JWT

I also proposed my company to release the code of our Wf Designer to JWT but
only from politeness - it doesn't have documentation/help and ... I cannot
tell more in order to be
impolite to my employer.

I guess that any other contributor do not have such maturity as JaWE. Just
guess

BTW, it is impossible to get known about this forum from www.eclipse.org
except of loading a list of newsgroups for any other original purpose.

As a matter of fact, I already saw this project as some kamikaze under
eclipse.org. That is why I initially even did not try to post here for some
time.
