Re: [platform-swt-dev] [ANN] SWT/Fox - initial commit in CVS
|
Hi Ivan,
Perhaps you should take a look at a complete widget set in 100% java and
use this as the basis for some of your work. I have done a lot of work
with threading, event processing and the JMM to make Conga excel in
performance.
http://www.opendoors.com/conga/CongaSpecSheet.pdf
to read the specification sheet which on the last page spec's out the
widget set pretty well. Conga is based on Bongo which went open source
some time ago so you should have no problem finding an archive .... or,
if you want to work with me, drop me a note offline.
kindest regards,
Lane

Today I did the initial CVS commit (in SourceForge) of my SWT / Fox
(www.fox-toolkit.org) port.
I won't repeat the reasoning behind this project. Please, use the search
facility of the Eclipse site to reach the earlier posts concerning the
port.
I will just reiterate: volunteers that want to contribute to the port
are
*welcome*. In fact I need help, because porting SWT is a huge effort;
one
developer is hardly able to do it on his own.
Project Home Page:
http://swtfox.sourceforge.net
(Well, I've not uploaded anything there yet.)
Project Status Page (it allows CVS browsing via the web):
http://sourceforge.net/projects/swtfox
CVS Location:
cvs.swtfox.sourcefoprge.net/cvsroot/swtfox/
(Anonymous access is not available via extssh. Use pserver instead.)
Project state:
--------------
Generally, the project is still in the initial stages of development;
large parts of the API are not implemented yet.
- The graphics subsystem (org.eclipse.swt.graphics.*) though, is nearly
implemented, although not thoroughly tested.
- Widgets: the event handling is there and seems to work.
Control & Widget are almost done.
Button/Checkbox & Label are also mostly implemented and seem to work.
Work on Tree & shell is started.
Composite & Canvas are largely commented out. Work on the other
widgets
has not started yet.
- Work on printing & dnd hasn't started yet, but these have low
priority.
The C++ part of the project currently compiles & runs on Win32 / VC6.
Once the API implementation reaches a reasonably complete stage, I will
port the native part to Linux / autoconf / gcc which is the real target
of
the project. (The fact that Fox runs on Windows is a mere convenience
that
allows me to develop on Windows.)
----
I forgot:
One needs a distribution of FOX 1.0.X in order to compile & run the
thing.
I myself still use 1.0.26 but I guess any of the newer 1.0.X versions
will
do as well.
