Hi everyone,
To address one of our customers' issue I have studyied several
declarative UI frameworks.
Basically, the requirements are :
- Possibility to declaratively build SWT HMI's
- Possibility to declaratively bind these HMI's with an EMF model
- The framework must provide design tooling
- The HMIs must be deployed dynamically
Another constraint is to start the developements mid-december, in other
words, now :)
I have studyied Tk-UI, Wazaabi2 and XWT. These 3 frameworks come with
very interesting features/concepts. In the end, XWT has been chosen. It
offers pretty good tooling, declarative capabilities for both UI
building and UI binding, is easy to extend in java and is the most
mature.
While studying the XWT engine, I have found several things to improve,
in particular the databinding with an EMF model.
For the moment we plan to use it and improve some parts. These
modifications could be contributed in the future.
Regards,
Sébastien.

Hi folks,
Remy has reminded me that there's
been
no recent discussion on declarative UI. I know there was an intention
for people to get together at ESE and discuss the topic. I guess
I was hoping for some kind of output from that.
I've been pretty heads down on
getting
the CSS code working so ... it'd be good if those who were at ESE and
who
care about declarative UI could get the ball rolling again.
Regards,
Kevin
