XWT Designer
During the ESE 2009 last week, I have shown a demo with a WYSIWYG editor for XWT in e4 Symphosium and XWT session. It is a tool like VE of eclipse. But the architecture is completely different. XWT Designer relies on XML, instead of Java in VE. And also it doesn’t have two JVMs as VE.
In terms of features, XWT supports already all layouts and controls with Tabbed propertiew view. In summary, all feature of VE has been supported such as:
- Palette
- DnD
- Event
- Layout
- User-firendly Tabbed Properties View
- Tree View
And furthermore, it overcomes the limitations of VE by providing some tools for Data/Control Binding edition. And it is definitively designed for non-SWT programmer.
Soyatec has planned to contribute it as a subproject of VE. It takes some time to get in eclipse. But by now, you can already install it using the following URL with the last daily build (here) of e4 :

Any feedback and suggestion are welcome.
