Re: [riena-dev] SWTDesigner and Riena Views
 | 
Hi Ekke,
good news and bad news :-) Good news is that we are now actually  
allocating ressources to investigate and document the use of SWT  
Designer in combination with Riena. Bad news is that we are only  
starting NOW and havnt done much yet other than do some preliminary  
testing and find the most obvious things.
But there are only so many things you can do in a given time.
But we are seriously now looking into this and will come up with some  
results in the next few weeks.
Some obvious things are that we need a kind of template for creating  
view and controller with some placeholders. That is something that we  
might be able to address with a wizard that create a new Riena View  
with Controller and an assembly for placing that into the navigation  
tree. A workstudent is working on that and we might be soon able to  
contribute that as a patch.
The other thing is the addUIControl call that you have to place for  
every widget in the view. That does two things. One is it adds a  
property into the data hashmap to give the widget a name and it adds  
it to the container of widgets for which we need to later  
automatically create a ridget.
The first step can already been done in SWT Designer. Not beautiful  
but doable. The second step could be automated in Riena.
These are the things I accross when doing some preliminary testing. As  
I said we are going to do some more investigation starting now.

It would certainly help if SWTDesigner creates this addUIControl
method call. I will talk to him about this.
