Re: [platform-swt-dev] possible XML SWT markup language?


I have been working on such a project and have shown it internally. I expect to send something out public on this topic within a week or so. I will let you know.
Chris.

i'm wondering about the existence any XML-based (SWTML?) UI descriptor
projects for SWT.  (a la XUL)
many people have design experience with creating UIs using SGML children,
people who otherwise lack proper programming experience.   hooks would be
needed of course to fire off events in the general code of your
application, but having a separate UI description mechanism seems like a
natural extension to GUI design.
not to mention making it easier to build GUI editing tools and the such.


is there such a project already in work?  any talks about one?  is the
idea flawed in some non-obvious way i'm completely missing?  :)
