Hi everyone again,

We're currently looking into creating a frontend for interacting with
the PLC Simulator, i.e. having an administration interface for
changing properties/input/output and, if time allows, some fancier
visual representations of the devices the PLCs control.

As for the REST service, I've so far developed it with Spring Boot
which should be okay from a licensing perspective (let me know if you
have any concerns), now I'm looking into different options for
developing the frontend:

1. Simple handwritten html+javascript (Jquery?) served by the Spring
Boot backend (easy to start with but might get a bit messy over time)
2. Separate single page application using
Vue/Angular/React/JS-Framework of the week (better separation of
concerns but requires JS-toolset)
3. Java-based web UI framework like Vaadin or Royale

Any other suggestions or reasons to choose one option over the others?

Cheers,

Tim
