Hey thanks Benjamin, interesting.

Ugh, its GPL though :(   Well still worth knowing about as a data point.

Re: [eclipse-incubator-e4-dev] CSS and declarative UI round up






Hi,

I'm not familiar with the techniques used behind this project nor will 
it be interesting to be ported over to Eclipse. I just stumbled across 
this and though it would be worth to share for this discussion.

JavaCSS - Provides CSS support for styling Swing and JavaFX components
https://javacss.dev.java.net/

They also provide a webstart demo to play around with a simple UI and 
it's css definitions.

Maybe we can take a look how the solved specific problems already 
mentioned on this list.

Best greets
  Benny
