[news.eclipse.tools] Re: GUI-Editor will support SWT, new Home-Url

["exquisitus" <assisi2000@xxxxxxxxx>]

I wrote a small Reference application manually and studied the concept for a
one designer for all.
It is clear, that in details there we will find a lot of differencies. First
I will concentrate myself  to the common
things and there are already much to do. Then the idea is to delegate
spcific parts to the user areas of the
code. Tags will distinguish between them. Then there should be an
information system which tracks all
incompatibilities. So though it will technically work if you switch from one
to the other API you know it
before that you might lose some decorations layouts etc. Then another
concept could be that there will
happen an "translation" from one concept in one API to the most near
solution in the other one.

What I have done until now is to implement the general concept: Fields,
generating instances: There is
a main difference Swing adds comonents to ist container where SWT childs
define theire paranet itself (this
is for me a little bit strange. One of the basic concepts of swing is, that
you can subclass Components and this
is very useful to build your own Beans. In SWT as far as I see now,
subclassing is forbiden. That is the reason
why the examples of SWT have for instance Frames (Shells) which are derived
from Object and then
they manage there own Frame (Shell) objects. This could prevent a powerfull
OO GUI-Design. So there
are in my opinion also a lot of disadvantages of SWT. A SWT GUI-designer
should primarily speed up
the learning curve.


Of course I am in an early stage and many things has to be concepted.
