Re: [platform-ui-dev] Coding an Eclipse plugin with HTML, JS (and Eclipse Browser)

For the EASE project I am planning to provide an API to build full views. While already working on a proof of concept I identified 2 challenges so far:

a) come up with a simple, yet powerful API

b) persistence layer of e4

Currently the workbench persists everything that you create - also dynamically created views. Problem there is that it just persists the view, not the content within the view. This results in all kinds of broken perspectives after a restart. There is a ticket open for that topic:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=378815

As long as this issues is not solved I do not see a clear way for EASE to provide scripted UIs. If we can find a solution here I will volunteer to prepare a demo for ECE 2017 :)

As for scripting integration like JS the EASE project provides hooks
into the Eclipse IDE. Not sure if they can build full views.
