Re: [graphiti-dev] Graphiti for JavaFX 2
|
Dear Michael,
Thank you for your response.
Because we share a long common history with Eclipse technologies I'm
quite aware of all the efforts required building sophisticated graphical
editors.
Our software was always built around EMF, Graphiti came in quite handy
to prevent us writing so much code to build an editor directly on plain
GEF/Draw2D (We never considered GMF as valuable option).
Writing an Eclipse/EMF based editor directly on JavaFX is currently not
an option. Therfore we would like to give Graphiti a try in this area,
but I have to mention that our resources are limited too. That's why I
wanted to figure out first, if there are already any findings/results
regarding a non Draw2D approach with Graphiti.
Kind regards,
Rainer

Hi Rainer,
as of today Graphiti only offers the SWT/Draw2D-based implementation. The separation of dependencies to the UI toolkit is in principle available in the Graphiti framework, but surely has some issues because of the long-lasting only dependency to GEF and the underlying technologies.
I had a very brief look at JavaFX 2 and found it a promising alternative runtime for Graphiti. But currently there are no plans to migrate Graphiti to JavaFX 2 (or add it as a 2. Runtime). This is simply due to our limited team capacity and the lack of requirements in this respect.
On the other hand I think this is a very interesting technology and would like to do some research with it if I find the time. But I'm afraid that time won't be that much... What are your plans in respect to JavaFX 2? Would you rather go for developing an editor directly based on that framework or do you think it would make sense to have a framework like Graphiti underneath?
Best regards,
Michael

Subject: [graphiti-dev] Graphiti for JavaFX 2
Hi all,
as far as I can remember one of Graphiti's feature is to separate
dependencies to the underlying UI Toolkit. We have used the standard
implementation for SWT/Draw2D for building our editors.
We are currently considering/investigating to move some graphical
editing to JavaFX using Graphiti. Has anybody done some reasearch in
that area or are there already any projects initiated. If not for
JavaFx, are there other implementations (e.g. Swing) available?
Best regards,
Rainer
