Re: [ve-dev] VE on Mac OS X

[Dr Gili Mendel <gmendel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

VE creates a target VM where it instantiate
the bean hierarcy on the project's class path.  It uses this VM to
screen scrape the images for these components.  These screen scraped
images are used as cartoon images on the GEF canvas.


... so we need to ability to screen
scrape Widget images .... the inherent issue is that these Widgets are
off screen.


For Swing, we use the Component.printAll(Graphics
g) API which works off screen.  SWT has no API to get off screen components.
 On Windows and GTK we are using native API to scrape the images.
 ... we need to be able to do so on OS X as well.

Hi,

What prevents VE from running on Mac OS X? Perhaps I can assist in 
either a development or testing role.
