Re: [eclipse-incubator-e4-dev] Describe your UI with XMl (XUL, XHTML...) to render it with SWT and SWT CSS engine.
|
BTW in Batik you may find complete DOM/CSS/Scripting stack including CSS engine, which is APL and already in Orbit.
We used Batik stuff in RCPML: http://kb.xored.com/display/rcpml/RCPML+Forms+Tutorial, it can be reused quite easily and proponents of DOM/CSS based solution may find Batik interesting (at least for prototyping).
Kind Regards,
Andrey

Btw, another CSS parser is the SteadyState one:
http://cssparser.sourceforge.net/
(Also LGPL)
It was the one used in the EclipseCon 2007 paper by Matt Hatem http://www.eclipsecon.org/2007/index.php?page=sub/&id=3631.

I would be interested with a CSS engine as well. What is the license
on the current implementation?
