Re: [platform-swt-dev] Eclipse SWT Examples in JavaScript/Browser
Seems very cool.

What about the Look and Feel, as it is rendered by the Browser, would the application determine it self aspect or by default it will be Windows based?

Hi,

I think some of you may like the idea of running a _javascript_ copy of SWT application inside modern browsers without using JRE. Here is "Eclipse SWT Examples" demo:

http://demo.java2script.org/controls/

The loading for the first time visitors may seem a little long to wait. The second loading would be much faster. Enjoy it.

The demo is directly compiled into _javascript_ basing on the same code base of  Eclipse SWT Examples' Java sources, using Java2Script plugin ( http://j2s.sourceforge.net/ ). Only a few lines of the sources are modified, adding lazy loading and lazy initializing mechanism to avoid browser freezing while still runing correctly as native Java application. _javascript_'s performance is not as good as native Java, such asynchronous lazy mechanisms are necessary for browser.

Most of SWT widgets in org.eclipse.swt.widgets.* are already ported to browser. Please check it out the sources at http://j2s.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/j2s/trunk/sources/net.sf.j2s.java.org.eclipse.swt/src/org/eclipse/swt/widgets/

For more information about Java2Script, please visit http://j2s.sourceforge.net/ and http://demo.java2script.org/ .

BTW: You may like to visit http://www.eclipse.org/rap/ for information about Eclipse RAP's RWT.
