Re: [e4-dev] SWT for Flex

[Bogdan Gheorghe <gheorghe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ivan,

The truth is we came to a point with
the technology where we needed to find possible early adopters in order
to proceed with its development. What we found is that while we had a lot
of interest from various parties to try out the technology, their existing
Java code bases were not structured in a way that made translation feasible.
The conclusion we came to is that while the technology made sense if you
were starting a new project that was purposefully designed with the intent
of being deployed to both the desktop and the web, it did not make sense
if you had to rewrite an entire code base just to optimize it for translation
(especially if you were dealing with really large code bases).  We
are, instead, focusing on using pure web technologies and then hosting
them within Eclipse. As an example, check out the work being done to host
OpenSocial Gadgets within e4 - http://wiki.eclipse.org/E4/OpenSocialGadgets.

Having said that, nothing says that
the technology cannot progress forward through community involvement. If
anyone is interested in contributing to it, I would be happy to help them
get started - just drop me a note.

Thanks,
Bogdan
