Re: [dsdp-pmc] yet another blinki-webkit4swt follow up
|
Very cool.
BTW, it's the integrated webkit browser that I'm keen on. I'll need to take a closer look and understand what you've got.
Cheers,
Doug.

Hi Doug,
I have followed your blog for quite a while. The
webkit implementation is based on Google's Chromium framework with a layer on
top of it known as the Chromium Embedded Framework. Over the top of this we have
built a JNI layer to weave it into the SWT component model. So yes, a variation
of chromium serves as the core but designed to work in an embedded and thread
compatible manner. There are other license such as MIT, Apache, Apache-like, ...
To my knowledge it is the LGPL portions that are the stickler.
Here is a doc on the framework:
An extra note is that we will include an integrated
webkit browser for inclusion into the IDE along side, the current IE and Mozilla
browser.

blinki-webkit4swt follow up
If you follow my blogs, I've been a big fan of WebKit for a
while and that's why this contribution has piqued my interest.
As a
follow up, looking at the zip file you pointed at for the CQ, there are many
pieces there with many different licenses, not just EPL/LGPL. In fact, it
looks like the source code to Google Chrome. Are these pieces part of the
solution as well?

I received a private note asking me, so what
does this "externally hosted webkit4swt thingie mean and what's blinki"?
WebKit4SWT hosting plan:
1. a public read-only GIT
repository
2. blinki project committers will have
write/merge privileges
3. code will be current EPL/LGPL
split
4. other upcoming blinki code
contributions will be hosted at eclipse as EPL
-- blinki will use a P2
dependency/assembly model to include the webkit4swt framework (we will be
looking for guidance from our mentors and PMC to get this
approach right)
Blinki status:
1. webkit4swt is a fundamental building
block for a first effort towards the blinki mobile web devkit
support
-- internal circumstances
have delayed release up to this time and now we are moving
forward
2. the blinki project outlines tool
frameworks for emulation/preview and debugging
-- with webkit being the
darling of mobile web browsers atm we plan to kick off tool framework
development on top of webkit4swt
3. blinki also has a big interest in
mobile web UI and application frameworks
-- there has been a lot of
work in this area outside the Eclipse space and we look to integrate and
enhance that work to fit into the Eclipse community's needs
4. the upcoming Pulsar mobile web roadmap being
developed will very likely overlap with some of the blinki objectives. We
will work with that group and the other DSDP projects to create mutual
success.
