Re: [rap-dev] Fwd: Proposal of a styled text widget for RAP Incubator Pr

[Ralf Sternberg <rsternberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Amine,

thanks for your offer and sorry for the delayed response. Some questions regarding the incubator component you'd like to create:

- If I understand correctly, you're proposing to include only the editor itself in the component. Could you provide a list of bundles to include from the github repository?

- Is the widget useful without xtext / DSLs? Are there any examples for those basic use cases?

- Do you also have an SWT-compatible version of this editor to be used in the RCP version, or would you use StyledText there?

- What would your component be called? Since your widget is not compatible with SWT's StyledText widget, "styledtext" is likely not a suitable name, is it?

- Following the conventions of the incubator projects, bundles and packages should probably be renamed to "org.eclipse.rap.addons.*". Would this be ok with you?

- Would you agree to maintain the component, i.e. follow up on bug reports, adjust the build for new RAP version etc?

- Are you an Eclipse committer already?

Best regards,

Ralf

Subject: Proposal of a styled text widget for RAP Incubator Project
To: rap-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx

Greetings from Paris,

I’m Amine, an independent consultant working on modeling applications and their web applications. I would like to share my experience on text editing over RAP.

I have developed DSL Forge, a tool for building textual web editors, and I would like to propose the main component of the tool (a styled text widget) as a RAP Incubator Project.

The repository [1] contains a custom widget based on an integration of Cloud9 ACE and RAP. I’ve already built some textual language editors based on the widget, please have a look on the live demo app [2] for some examples.

The widget is not perfect, maybe the integration with RAP is not optimal, but it does really make textual editors with all the styling features, annotations, content assist, text hover, and so on. 

 

I’m looking forward to get your feedback on this, I'm available for any further information.

Amine Lajmi
