I guess all you know the most used declarative-UIs in this world are XAML and XUL. XAML is the key
concept of Vista and SilverLight. I don’t it is a good idea to re-invent the wheel
since it takes always to much time.
What I propose is to adopt the XAML concept
and to implement it in EMF.

[eclipse-incubator-e4-dev] CSS and declarative UI round up
Hi folks,
Over
the course of discussions, many folks have come forth with a favorite CSS/
declarative-UI implementation. So much to choose from! So much to
know! As a first step, I thought it'd be helpful for us to have a roundup
of them all so we can discuss their pros and cons. Eventually we'd all
like to see some working CSS code in e4 eclipse.org repo and at the moment it
seems the main problem is we have too many to choose from (a great problem to
have!).
What
I had in mind was:
- Those who have some
technology they'd like to bring forth prepare a small presentation of its
pros and cons.
- We have a call where they
are presented. We can as a group then better understand our
requirements and which technologies fit those.
- Ideally we would have
three presentations of 1/2 hour each (including discussion), plus wrap up
discussion, so two hours max for the call. I'd prefer a shorter call
but I don't think that's realistic. If we have more than three
presentations then we can split it into two calls, since I don't know
about you but my attention span nears zero after 2 hours.
- Our goals should be
selecting the technology which will be the initial commit for the purpose
of investigation. We may change our minds later, but we need to
start with something. If there are two (or more) favorite technologies
we can commit both, like we have the EMF/non-EMF modelling work.
What do folks think?
If
we like this approach, I'd suggest we aim for a call in approximately two
weeks, to folks time to prep.
Kevin
