Re: [eclipse-incubator-e4-dev] Declaritive UI and XUL

I read through the XUL doc at one point, and spent some time playing with
the tutorial, but that's about it. At the time, it seemed reasonable, but I
didn't see a lot of design wins. Is XUL getting traction?

McQ.

Has anybody in this group already had a closer look at XUL? It would
make a quite compelling story if the Mozilla Foundation and the Eclipse
Foundation would use a common declarative UI language.

XUL seems to be closely aligned with the DOM, a goal that I have also
heard for e4. I know that this would seriously limit the degrees of
freedom available to us. But if we consider XUL a possible way to go we
may want to reach out to the Mozilla community for the summit.

They also have a declarative databinding framework.
