Re: [eclipse-incubator-e4-dev] Declarative UI roundup?
|
Yes -- I'd like to present and discuss the use of EMF (and GEF) in a
Dynamic Declarative UI engine (a demo is available in
http://wiki2.wazaabi.org/externals/demo1.html).
Regarding the interesting wiki article
(http://wiki.eclipse.org/E4/DeclarativeUI/Styling_Roundup) I have
several questions :
What do we expect exactly from stylesheet mechanism:
sharing resources like colors/fonts/images among several components ?
using the cascading mechanism provided by CSS ?
... ?
Could/should we also define a (first) list of the propeties we would
like to place in stylesheets, for instance: should layout constraints be
in stylesheets ? (I just ask the question ;-) ...)
Regards,
Olivier

Hi gang,
As you may recall, in August we had a Styling roundup to look at the
different available skinning technologies. While organizing it, we
discussed also wanting to do one for declarative UIs.
There was a lot of interest at the time, and there's been lots of
discussion on this list lately about different declarative UI
technologies/approaches. I think the Styling one went well so I was
wondering if folks wanted to do one for declarative UIs?
Seehttp://wiki.eclipse.org/E4/DeclarativeUI/Styling_Roundup for an idea.
This would involve some people volunteering to do a short presentation
on a particular technology, either their own (e.g. XSWT) or one they
are familiar with (e.g. XUL). There'd be some prep in putting a small
amount of information on the e4 wiki, then a call with presentations.
The idea is to have some decent content to discuss but not create a
big presentation job for folks, so the emphasis would be on short
presentations (and also out of the interest of keeping the call to say
1.5 hours which will be a challenge I think).
The goals of the call would include but not be limited to:
1) All getting on the "same page" with respect to the different
technology choices available to us.
2) Open discussion of pros/cons of different approaches.
3) What problems we believe it will solve in the e4 context.
4) Hopefully come away with a small number of "most promising"
technologies which the community could focus on in e4.
Any interest? Note that this is community driven content, so "yes"
would mean "yes I'll sign up to provide some content".
Regards,
Kevin
