Re: [cdt-dev] CDT and RAP
|
I have my personal opinions on Web IDEs. I think there is a future
there, but for it's going to be a lot of work to get such IDEs usable.
And I seriously question whether SWT or RAP is the write architecture
for Web UIs. I think a better approach would be to create a more natural
UI in JavaScript from scratch that interacts with a server-side Eclipse.
