Christian Lenz commented on NETBEANS-18:
----------------------------------------
Yeah as discussed in the mailing list, we should use html4j if possible to
start here.
> Refactoring the startpage of the NetBeans IDE

> 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
