Hey all,

we have a client/server application with a desktop client (based on Eclipse RCP) and a webclient. I know that GEF works great with SWT, and also saw a solution for JavaFX, but is there any other UI Toolkit which is supported and which i can use for our webclient?
Thanks a lot,

Thomas

As already indicated, GEF (MVC) 3.x, which is based on Draw2d 3.x, could only be used for building graphical editors within an Eclipse RCP context.

The new GEF4 (MVC) component, as demonstrated by its logo example (see https://wiki.eclipse.org/GEF/GEF4/MVC#Logo_Example_.28Standalone.2C_Eclipse_UI_.2C_Web.29 for details), in addition allows a standalone usage, as well as a deployment in the web (with just one technological basis) via Webstart of JavaFX RIA.

To facilitate that other rendering technologies then JavaFX are also usable, the new GEF4 MVC component was designed in two layers and provides a set of rendering toolkit-indipendent base abstractions (MVC) as well as JavaFX-specific specializations (MVC.FX). I.e. while no direct support for other Web-UI-toolkits is currently provided, it could be realized in the same way as MVC.FX does for JavaFX.
