In a previous thread we discussed the possibility of developing desktop applications using web technologies, e.g. using an embedded HTTP server and browser to create a desktop application. This would have the advantage of making it easy to offer both web and desktop editions of an application that appear identical.
Well it seems that "RStudio" [1] does exactly this. RStudio is a new IDE for the R programming language, and it appears to be implemented mostly as a web application in GWT. There is a server version and a desktop version, and the desktop version is just a thin Qt-based shell around a browser widget and HTTP server. Take a look at the screenshots -- the results look quite good. [1] http://www.rstudio.org/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
