Alright, so we're considering glimmer as a tool to throw up wizards and
views and all things SWT.
The SWT examples that are available on the glimmer home page are quite a
compelling reason, I must say! We've done a few spikes around using
plain ruby jruby to throw up some sample views.
There are several questions that come to mind as far as integrating
glimmer into RCP is concerned:
packaging
---------
- jruby, ruby base libraries and other gems
This is one of the highest concerns. This aspect gets funny when the
eclipse class loader, and service discovery is involved.
- my own plugins
Do I package my plugins as a jar? Will the require statements in ruby
code continue to work? I guess not.
testing
-------
- how would I unit test this code from a PDE-JUnit test launch, from
within eclipse and also headless
interoperability with testing tools
-----------------------------------
- JTestr http://jtestr.codehaus.org/
Testing eclipse interfaces apps is a royal pain. JTestr makes it easy to
test java code using jruby, and integrates with most ruby/java testing
frameworks like rspec, mocha, junit, testng.
I'm sure there will be other questions that come to mind over the course
of time, but I wanted to understand what are some of opinions and neat
tips from the folks at glimmer.

Zaitrarrio Collier had experience integrating RCP with Glimmer. He is in
the process of posting a new implementation. Once he has done so, I'll add
a link.
