[ve-dev] XWT Visual Designer

[yves.yang@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi All,

During ESE last week, I have shown a demo with a WYSIWYG editor for XWT.
It is a tool like VE of eclipse. But the architecture is completely
different. XWT Designer relies on XML, instead of Java in VE. And also it
doesn't have two JVMs.

In terms of features, XWT supports already all layouts and controls with
Tabbed propertiew view. In one word, all feature of VE as been supported
such as (see XWTDesigner.png):
  - Palette
  - DnD
  - Event
  - Layout
  - User-firendly Tabbed Properties View
  - Tree View

And furthermore, it oversomes the limiations of VE by provoding some tools
for Data/Control Binding edition (see ControlBinding.png). And it is
definitively designed for non-SWT programmer.

Soyatec has planned to contribute it as subproject of VE. By now, the
project can be installed from the URL using the last daily build of e4:
  http://www.xwtdesigner.org/update

Any feedback and suggestion are welcome.

best regards
Yves YANG
