Hello, sorry for the delay. I have indeed done some work and am able to create RCP plugins with simple master/detail views with CRUD functionality and validation using Spring Valang.
As I did not have the time to work on the GUI DSL, I 'abused' the existing DSL to describe the view. This is not only cumbersome, but very tightly bound to the specific needs of my current project. I will start working on the GUI DSL next week and will commit what I have achieved. Please have a little bit of patience until end of next week. Then we can discuss how to proceed.

We have not started any work on this yet. I don't know if derabi has done anything we can use. If I'm going to do this myself it wiII take some to complete. It would be great if you can help. /Patriki Martin Klinke wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm very interested in the idea of generating Java EE applications with > Eclipse RCP front-end and would like to know what is the current state of > this (hopefully) ongoing work. > > My current task is to develop a prototype application with RCP technology > and Java EE back-end.
