Hi,
is there a chance to get this running on non-Windows OS's as well?

Hi all!
I'm working on a JMX-console for JBoss and am looking into using Jelly:Swt
for scripting custom configurators for each MBean.
Cool!
The simple scripting that
Jelly allows for SWT right now is really enough for the basic
layouts/operations that need to be done with the MBeans. However, I'm not
familiar with Jelly and I'm wondering how to execute a Jelly:Swt script
that
does not create a new shell (in Swing - Frame). In other words, I'd just
like to know how to set a parent (shell) tag -outside- of a script and
then
execute it. I have a main app with a gui and just want to place
script-generated composites (in Swing - Panel) inside that gui. It would
also be nice to get a ref of the generated object back to my main app. :)
Any ideas? (this is probably a non-swt-specific :)
If you answer, pleas cc me as I'm not on the list yet. :)
This was an oversight - I've just patched the SWT tags in CVS so that a
parent (shell or Container) can now be specified in an attribute.
e.g.
<tree parent="${someShell}">
...
</tree>
There's a demo of this working - if you cd to jelly/jelly-tags/swt and with
a recent CVS HEAD of Maven type
maven demo
You should get an SWT screen which you can click on the 'parent demo' button
on the toolbar which runs the parentDemo.jelly script.
If you want to export any widget at any point in the hierarchy as a variable
so that you can use it either from Java code or pass it into some bean or
method, just use the var attribute.
<table var="myTable">
...
</table>
then in Jelly code you could do something like...
<j:useBean var="foo" class="com.acme.MyHelperBean" table="${myTable}"/>
which would invoke the setTable() method of the MyHelperBean.
or in normal Java code
JellyContext context = new JellyContext()
context.runScript("foo.jelly");
Object table = context.getVariable( "myTable" );
On a closing note, it'd be easy to extend JellySWT to add some richer JFace
widgets too, so the JFace abstraction for content providers, label producers
and such like could be used. While we're on the subjet, Van's recent
articles on SWT and JFace are worth a read...
