Native Application Builder Project
The Native Application Builder (NAB) project creates faramework to build
a C++ and several languages GUI applications. The goal is to allow the
user to write a GUI application once and build it for many platforms
without changing the code.
Since the scope of the DSDP project is the embedded space, the NAB
project was created to bring into Eclipse the portions of the WideStudio
tool that are focused on building embedded GUI’s in C++. Conceptually,
this is similar to SWT and JFace, with the notable exception that the
NAB tool is written in C++ and designed for use in C++ applications.
At now, we provide "NAB plug-in for MWT" as example tool. MWT is a
multi-platform GUI library that was born out of the WideStudio/MWT open
source project. MWT application can run on multiple host and embedded
platforms, such as Windows, Linux, MacOS, and several embedded real-time
operating systems. And the application builder usability is similar to
Visual Basic or Visual C++.
First milestone release (M1) on end of June have complete functionality.
