2) Integrated editor (launch with the user application in a second Window)
a) Good :
- Preview is the final result with real data
- All application components accessible to the editor without
complex plugin system (in this way all editors components will be well
placed in the preview)
- Full real-time edition (can preview menus transitions,...)
- User can customize the editor
b) Bad :
- Intrusive in the application code
- Force the user to port application on a desktop OS (Linux, Mac or
Windows), not friendly if he target only embedded devices (can be
bypassed with a remote system)
- Less stable editor?
I think an integrated editor has a huge benefit because of the instant
feedback.
You could use IPC and have the editor in a separate application. That is
probably more difficult to implement but it mitigates your negative points.
