Re: [platform-swt-dev] Nebula Subproject Proposal - Custom Widget Toolki

["Jeremy Dowdall" <jeremyd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No.  The aim is to have no dependencies beyond SWT because this is a toolkit for building widgets in Nebula.  Nebula's widgets have some flexibility, for example: certain JFace features are useful in widgets and JFace is often already present within an SWT application.  Something like Groovy, however, is probably not already present.
As a base for building custom widgets in Nebula, CWT will most likely be more strict about this.
CWT is also not about building complete user interfaces - just widgets.

Did you think about using Groovy. It's builder mechanism allows you to create declarative UIs like it's done with Swing Builder or Graphics Builder (including SVG support). The result is simillar to JavaFX but without another scripting language.

An API similar to JavaFX script's features would be nice.

Hello SWT developers,

I am currently working to propose a subproject of Nebula called the Custom Widget Toolkit: http://www.aspencloud.com/cwt
As the name suggests, the goal of this project is to produce a toolkit for creating custom widgets.  It is not necessarily about providing a specific set of features, but is instead about helping widget developers create feature rich UI components quickly and reliably.

I am posting here to find out what you might consider useful about this type of a toolkit and, most importantly, how it can work in concert with the ongoing development and enhancement of SWT.  Please have a look at the above url, and let me know what you think.

thank you,
 Jeremy
