AW: AW: What is Riena about? (was AW: AW: [riena-dev] Ridgets)

["Volanakis, Elias" <evolanakis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Scott,

the "appropriateness" question is better answered by Riena's initiators.

For an example on Ridgets see org.eclipse.riena.example.client. The classes SystemPropertiesView and SystemPropertiesViewController are a reasonably realistic example showing how to work with ridgets. In the view you create SWT controls normally and register them with Riena (addUIControl(...)). In the controller you have access to the corresponding ridgets (they will be injected). There are further examples in the packages of this project.

To play around with the examples start the client using the launch configuration in the project. Switch to the "Playground" tab and open the "Playground" category (left hand side). The whole client is pretty much a sandbox for playing around, so you can use it to see what is currently available.

Kind regards,
Elias.

Hi Elias,

Thanks for the pointers, but I've already read them.  The question isn't 
whether the goals are 'new' or not...but rather whether they are 
appropriate given the other things that are going on (e4, Platform UI, etc).

And for understanding of Ridgets...can't anyone (please) point me to 
some code in Riena that shows some of what's being discussed here?   
Rather than a presentation or proposal/paper...as I've got the committed 
source code in my workspace and I prefer to examine API rather than read 
about it.

Thanks,

Scott
