| Re: [science-iwg] Eclipse Rich Beans proposal |
Hi Matt,
I can't seem to access the document on the Eclipse website. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jonah
Hello,
We (Diamond guys) are thinking of releasing the widget library we use for parts of DAWN and GDA as a separate eclipse project. It features automatic data binding using reflection and has scientific widgets for editing bean trees. We are currently adding on-the-fly generation by linking to a library called metawidgets. I have not submitted the proposal yet (maybe next week), but it is here:
https://projects.eclipse.org/proposals/eclipse-rich-beans
My question is what do you think? I suspect you will find this project more intuitive to understand than what DAWNSci does! I know this kind of thing already exists in Eclipse but it is an ecosystem after all and not a monocultureJ
To put its point over positively; the API is, I think, simple to use, has better widgets for science and is fast for huge field lists. So even though it is a minnow in the world of models and data binding, it has some strong points.

And some screenshots from the examples (not very jazzy, there are some nicer widgets). These ones sync to JSON but obviously exporting the beans to a specific format is a detail the library is agnostic to:
|
UI |
BEAN GRAPH |
|
|
public class ExampleBean {
private List<ExampleItem> items; //…
public class ExampleItem {
public enum ItemChoice { XY, POLAR;
public static Map<String, ItemChoice> names() { final Map<String,ItemChoice> ret = new HashMap<String,ItemChoice>(2); ret.put("X-Y Graph", XY); ret.put("Polar", POLAR); return ret; } }
private String itemName; private ItemChoice choice = ItemChoice.XY; private Double x,y; private double r,theta; //… |
|
|
public class ExampleBean {
private List<ExampleItem> items;
//…
public class ExampleItem {
private String itemName; private ItemChoice choice = ItemChoice.XY; private Double x,y; private double r,theta;
private List<OptionItem> options;
//…
public class OptionItem {
private String optionName; private boolean showAxes, showTitle, showLegend, showData; private static int count = 0;
//… |
|
So more than 200,000 fields are linked and editable with in speedy fashion! |
public class ExampleBean {
private List<ExampleItem> items;
//… Example has 2000 items
public class ExampleItem {
private String itemName; private ItemChoice choice = ItemChoice.XY; private Double x,y; private double r,theta;
private double d0, d1,d2,d3,d4,d5,d6,d7,d8, d9; private double d10, d11,d12,d13,d14,d15,d16,d17,d18, d19; private double d20, d21,d22,d23,d24,d25,d26,d27,d28, d29; private double d30, d31,d32,d33,d34,d35,d36,d37,d38, d39; private double d40, d41,d42,d43,d44,d45,d46,d47,d48, d49; private double d50, d51,d52,d53,d54,d55,d56,d57,d58, d59; private double d60, d61,d62,d63,d64,d65,d66,d67,d68, d69; private double d70, d71,d72,d73,d74,d75,d76,d77,d78, d79; private double d80, d81,d82,d83,d84,d85,d86,d87,d88, d89; private double d90, d91,d92,d93,d94,d95,d96,d97,d98, d99;
//… Example has 100 fields
