Hi Geeks
Here is my schedule to improve EJX:
- Add a new "ResourceManager" and "ResourceManagerFactory" which
works like "FileManager" and "FileManagerFactory" but allows to use
an URL instead of a File. Because there are already EJX-plugins available
I don't want to force them to change but just an extended version of these
classes. When it is not possible I will change all the EJX-plugins in
jBoss
to use the new classes.
I know at the moment there are still some open points with this approach
but it works if only file-URLs are used.
- Add JavaHelp support (each EJX-plugin can bring its own JavaHelp)
- Enable the plugins to change the EJX-menu bar. The changed menubar
is only visible when the plugin is active (like in MAC or Atari GEM).
- New properties for user-setup (font, font size, ...)
On the other hand I would like to split the actual EJX we have into the
core part (the necessary part to run EJX) and the examples added to by
Rickard. I think it makes it a bit clearer to see what EJX and help to
reduce
the jar-file to run EJX and its plugins.
If you have some critics, suggestions or when you want participate the
respond or write to me directly.
Have fun - Mad Andy
