Hi,

I had developed a GEF+EMF based visual editor plugin couple of years ago. This plugin was being sold commercially until recently. I cannot support this product anymore and hence want to make it opensource.

Will appreciate any inputs that can help me make my product opensource.

About the plugin:

The plugin is a WYSIWYG editor for Java Swing Forms that are represented in XML format. The product supports SwixML representation of Swing forms, out of box. However, the product can be tailored to any XML schema and for any UI library (Swing, SWT). The plugin is based on GEF, EMF and some of the constituents of VE plugin.

More details can be found at http://www.invivosoft.com

Thanks

Sanjeev,

Maybe you'll want to host it using Eclipse Labs:

Note that VE has been terminated, with Window Builder as a replacement...
