[eclipse-incubator-e4-dev] Describe your UI with XMl (XUL, XHTML...) to

["Angelo zerr" <angelo.zerr@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I post mail into E4 mailling list, because you will be perhaps inetrested with my work.

I'm Akrogen developer wih is Eclipse plugin to generate code. With Akrogen you can describe your Eclipse wizard with XML/XUL and _javascript_ and you can link to template (Freemarker, Velocity or XSL) or ANT task to generate the code you want.

I'm dvelopping new features for Akrogen and I have created TK-UI project (sorry for the moment only frensh translation is available) to manage a lot of thing like : 
* decribe your UI with XML with any XML grammar (XUL, XForms, XHTML, XAML....)
*render the XML description into SWT or Swing.
* manage CSS styling.
* manage Databinding to bind for instance _javascript_ object or DOM with UI controls (I'm using JFace Databinding to manage that).

I have developped CSS Engine which is able to apply styles for SWT or Swing UI. So you can use the CSS Engine with pur SWT or Swing Java code.

If you want test CSS Engine with SWT you can download Eclipse project : 

CSS Engine core : http://tk-ui.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/tk-ui/org.akrogen.tkui.css/trunk/org.akrogen.tkui.css.core

SWT Engine implemenation : http://tk-ui.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/tk-ui/org.akrogen.tkui.css/trunk/org.akrogen.tkui.css.swt

You can launch test/org/akrogen/tkui/css/swt/examples/csseditors/CSSEditorSWTWidgets.java which is sample of CSS editor with SWT.This sample show that CSS Engine can apply CSS styles at runtime. (Change the CSS styles textarea content to apply styles).

If you are interested with my work, don't hesitate to contact me.
