Hi James!

Is there any plan of making JellySwing and JellySWT to support XUL style markup? So XUL would be used to describe the UI and switching between XUL implementations would be easier...?

Or are there some serious issues with this idea?

Rgds,
Neeme

James Strachan ::
I've just committed an initial JellySWT implementation which is similar to
JellySwing, using XML to build rich user interfaces, but uses SWT as the
underlying UI technology. There's not much in the way of examples or
documentation as of yet, what there is is here...

http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/sandbox/jelly/jellyswt.html

There's an example script here

http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-commons-sandbox/jelly/src/test/org
/apache/commons/jelly/swt/example.jelly?rev=HEAD


So far I've gotta say, I'm very impressed with SWT. The folks at OTI and IBM
seem to have done a great job. From never using SWT before to completing the
above code took me about 3-4 hours; which considering I've just about
grokked how to create most SWT widgets and make reasonable layouts, I find
pretty impressive.

SWT seems much simpler & more straightforward than Swing. Its so cool for
the Layouts to actually work and not suck! The JellySWT implementation is
also much smaller & simple than the JellySwing implementation.
