Hi Angelo,

So my initial reaction is:
1) Great!
2) Come to the summit!

I'd not heard of your project but your new feature list is right on target 
for things that we care about (well, except the Swing part <g>). 
Declarative technologies, XForms, CSS, XUL, ... cross compiling SWT... 
these are all important to us.

I think its going to take some time for folks to look at your project to 
provide a more in depth reply.  But look, in the meantime you should think 
about coming to the summit.  Just the CSS engine alone with the right 
licensing, care and fed, would be a huge boon to e4.  And on and on.  It 
seems you've done lots of work, and could contribute lots in either code 
or first hand technical experience.

Cheers,
Kevin

[eclipse-incubator-e4-dev] Describe your UI with XMl (XUL,      XHTML...) 
to render it with SWT and SWT CSS engine.






Hi,
I post mail into E4 mailling list, because you will be perhaps inetrested 
with my work.

I'm Akrogen developer wih is Eclipse plugin to generate code. With Akrogen 
you can describe your Eclipse wizard with XML/XUL and Javascript and you 
can link to template (Freemarker, Velocity or XSL) or ANT task to generate 
the code you want.

I'm dvelopping new features for Akrogen and I have created TK-UI project 
(sorry for the moment only frensh translation is available) to manage a 
lot of thing like : 
* decribe your UI with XML with any XML grammar (XUL, XForms, XHTML, 
XAML....)
*render the XML description into SWT or Swing.
* manage CSS styling.
* manage Databinding to bind for instance Javascript object or DOM with UI 
controls (I'm using JFace Databinding to manage that).

I have developped CSS Engine which is able to apply styles for SWT or 
Swing UI. So you can use the CSS Engine with pur SWT or Swing Java code.

If you want test CSS Engine with SWT you can download Eclipse project : 

CSS Engine core : 
http://tk-ui.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/tk-ui/org.akrogen.tkui.css/trunk/org.akrogen.tkui.css.core


SWT Engine implemenation : 
http://tk-ui.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/tk-ui/org.akrogen.tkui.css/trunk/org.akrogen.tkui.css.swt


You can launch 
test/org/akrogen/tkui/css/swt/examples/csseditors/CSSEditorSWTWidgets.java 
which is sample of CSS editor with SWT.This sample show that CSS Engine 
can apply CSS styles at runtime. (Change the CSS styles textarea content 
to apply styles).

If you are interested with my work, don't hesitate to contact me.

Regards Angelo
