One of my requirement is to enable users to create custom views of our data. I see basically two options.
1. Embed VEP or some other visual GUI builder. It would need to be: easy enough to use; have some hooks to compile generated files and make them available to my application; localizable; and the license must permit such use. Which GUI builders satisfy these requirements?
2. Generate GUI on the fly from text files in a human-writable format (e.g. XML, but not necessarily). There are some libraries which do this: CookSWT, XSWT, JellySWT, SWTML, XWT (I presume it can be used from old RCP using the e4 Bridge). Are there any projects I've missed?
redView was suggested when I asked this question at StackOverflow, but it doesn't work with Indigo currently (though a new version should be released soon), and doesn't support creating editors.

Hi Romaov,
Reporting with BIRT could be an option. The result can be show in a view
(with some coding) and the users also have the option to store the content in
pdf, excel, word, etc..
