That's cool. Do you use JFace Databinding to manage binding in your EMF
Model UI? If so perhaps you could interested by my work with RHino JFace
Databinding implementation?
In a different project, I using JFace databinding as glue between an EMF model
of business objects (+ JavaScript for implementing operations) and SWT UI. It
works, but as mentioned in discussions on this list, I prefer a modelled UI.
Hence, in the context of e4, the idea is to replace the SWT UI with a toolkit
independent UI representation (UFaceKit or some other UI model) + SWT renderer
(or renderer for other toolkits). If the UI model is EMF-based, the databinding
will be EMF to EMF (business object to UI object), which makes it a lot cleaner
and simpler.
Where does styling fit in here? I believe it may have a role in both the
databinding (between business object model and UI model) and in the rendering of
the UI (mapping between UI model and toolkit).
