Re: [e4-dev] how to contribute to toolkit model ?

Triggered by this discussion, I've blogged about this topic: http://2ality.blogspot.com/2009/09/should-eclipse-have-xml-based-gui.html

Hi Jin,

A declarative UI is very important for e4 to simple UI development for
enterprise SI presentation. It provides a separation between concept and implementation, and unify all UI frameworks and data frameworks (including EMF) to work together. It should be the foundation of eclipse for all UI Tools such as VE, MDA like PMF/EGF. So the standardization of declarative
UI in e4 is absolutly necessary for the success of e4.

Without this standard, it will be a masse. We are already in this
situation in Java. There are XUL, Xform, XSWT and others, but no standard.
Who dare to use it? Which tool support it?

Best regards
Yves YANG
EMF seem higher level technology than XML. EMF provide many advanced tools to solve the actual world's problem. A XML file is a data aggregation.
But,
it is simple to understand. However parsing many XMLs or one big XML is
not
lightweight absolutely. And so I don't much like the idea of "XML
Everywhere". But, One question is that, is it possible to make all
additional technologies as the options for e4? we don't need be forced to
choose one specific technology?
best regards,
Jin Mingjian
