Re: [eclipse-incubator-e4-dev] CSS and declarative UI round up 
Hi,
I'm not familiar with the techniques used behind this project nor will it be interesting to be ported over to Eclipse. I just stumbled across this and though it would be worth to share for this discussion. 

JavaCSS - Provides CSS support for styling Swing and JavaFX components
https://javacss.dev.java.net/
They also provide a webstart demo to play around with a simple UI and it's css definitions.
Maybe we can take a look how the solved specific problems already mentioned on this list. 

Best greets
 Benny

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
