Re: [nebula-dev] Zest and Nebula
|
Hi Ian,
I think the Zest components would be great for Nebula.
Regarding Draw2d/GEF, I think it makes sense for us to create a separate
module within Nebula to host GEF dependent widgets.
I generally like simpler APIs, with a model API as an add-on. So I'm in
favor of a SWT-like API but I don't think thats a requirement. The
CompositeTable just offers a JFace-like API.
+1 for the Zest components and
+1 for Ian as committer

I have been working on a number of model based info viz viewers. In
particular, I have created a graph viewer, tree graph viewer, and we
are actively working on a nested graph viewer (and we have thoughts of
a DAG viewer). The viewers have been created to conform to JFace
standards. That is, you can set a content / label provider, selection
changed listener, etc... to the viewer to render your information. The
views were created initially for use in Mylar, but several people have
pointed out that these views are more general than this
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=164387). The views can
be found on www.eclipse.org/mylar/zest.php.

I think Nebula (supplemental widgets for SWT) is a better long term
fit for these. Currently the components have been structured as JFace
viewers, but SWT compliance is possible too. Also, these viewers are
all built on top of Draw2D/GEF, not really **normal** for SWT :).
If others think Nebula and Zest would make a good fit, I would be
happy to explore this option.
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Ian
