Christian Lenz created NETBEANS-18:
--------------------------------------
Summary: Refactoring the startpage of the NetBeans IDE
Key: NETBEANS-18
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-18
Project: NetBeans
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: ide - Welcome
Affects Versions: Next
Reporter: Christian Lenz
Attachments: vscode-startpage.png, vs-startpage.gif
As I compared the welcome screen of NetBeans to Visual Studio and Visual Studio
Code, it would be great to refactor it to a bit modern look and feel. I will
definitely do it, but I dive into the code and as I saw it right, everything is
java. So for me as a FrontEnd-developer it is a must have to create such page
in plain HTML. It will be more fun, flexible and better with HTML, JS and CSS.
So we can do it with dukescript for example to talk with java and vice versa to
interact with the projects for example.
So we have two options. The first one is to refactor the existing page to
remove everything what is not needed for the FrontEnd stuff and I can dive into
and make a HTML version of it (if it is not exist, because I can't it) or, what
could be better, I can create a new module with DukeScript and create a new
page with interactions to the Java backend, and we can replace the existing
one, with the new one.
I added the welcome screen
Regards
Chris
