Re: [eclipse-incubator-e4-dev] Added " Declarative UI/CSS/UI Model" to Work Area page

Hi Kevin,

Thank's for your reply,

I have never used EclipsePedia, but I have created login and now I can edit the Wiki.
Are you agree that I change the Wiki to :

* add link to Styling/CSS to call about TK-UI CSS engine
*
add link to Make it easy to script Eclipse (e.g., expose DOMs) to call about TK-UI, because TK-UI use DOM Document (extends Xerces DOM) and this DOM is putted into Rhino context to manage the DOM with _javascript_
for instance you can do that :

var input = document.createElement('input'); .
var td = document.getElementById('MyTd');
td.appenChild(input);

and this script add SWT Text to the SWT Composite.

* add link Declarative UI to call about TK-UI, because TK-UI can manage UI with any XML grammars.

If you are agree, I will try to write something about TK-UI features (but it's not finished).

Regards Angelo

Hi Angelo,

I seem to recall you might've posed about this before right? (So many emails!)  To ensure this isn't lost, how about you write an e4 wiki page about it, linked off of the Declarative UI subject area?

We've seen a few emails go by with pointers to possible technology choices for declarative/CSS.  It'd be great to have wiki pages for each so we can compare and contrast.

Hi,

I have created
Akrogen which is Eclipse plugin to generate code with Wizard Eclipse that you can write with XML/XUL and _javascript_. You can link the XMl wizard with Template (Freemarker, XSL, Velocity) or ANT target to generate code.

XUL is interpret into SWT with Wazaabi, but I'm workinkg on
TK-UI project to improve Akrogen to :

* manage the XML UI description with any grammar (XHTML, XUL, XForms...)
* manage binding like XAML like this <input value="{Binding source=jsPerson Path=name}" /> to bind Scriptable object with UI.
* manage CSS style.

For the binding I'm using JFace Databinding to bind the UI SWT with DOM element and manage binding like XAML.

If you are interested with my work don't hesitate to contact me.

Regards Angelo

Hi gang,


I added a heading "Declarative UI/CSS/UI Model" to the Work Areas page,
http://wiki.eclipse.org/E4/Work_Areas.  Maybe they shouldn't be grouped together, split them if you want, but for getting started I thought we might benefit more from consolidation than specialization.

Btw, what's the purpose of the WorkAreas page?  I assume its those who intend on doing actual work in an area?  (We should have some explanation text at the top).  There's a lot less names there than on the topics page :)  


Kevin
