Re: [e4-dev] Declarative UI - XWT
Hi Yves,

Congratulation for your work. I find it's very cool to have designer to create the Declarative UI.
I have few questions about this designer :

1. Is it possible into XML editor to have completion to find Java backing bean Java classes used into the XML UI?

2. Is it possible to select the Java backing bean Java classes into XML UI and open the Java classes (ex : select the clasess + CTRL)

3. Is it possible to use this XML editor with your own XML Markup (eg : XUL?)

Subject: [e4-dev] Declarative UI - XWT

 

Hi all,

 

We have an intensive and long discussion during e4 symposium at ESE about the declarative UI. There are a lot of questions come out. And two solutions debate: SWT 1:1 Mapping and abstract UI model. After this event, I have prepared a PowerPoint to resume my vision (Page 5) and the features I have tested.

 

As promised two weeks ago, we have developed a POC based on SWT direct mapping. This component (named as XWT) is available via the update manager:

http://www.soyatec.org/update/xwt

 

After the installation, you can check out the samples and a demo with EMF model via our public SVN server:

http://www.soyatec.org/xwt

 

The source codes are not yet accessible right now. We need a deep code review and format. Sorry for this inconvenience.

 

If it is possible, I can make a presentation/demonstration during the coming Declarative UI bi-week meeting.

 

Getting started

------------

To get started, you should switch to XWT perspective first,

   1. Create a Java project

   2. Create XWT UI component via New->XWT.

An XWT editor is opened automatically. You can drag and drop a graphic element from tool palette to the XWF source editor (not preview region), or you can type ctrl+space to call the code assist.

 

Your comments and suggestions are welcome.

 

Best regards

Yves YANG
