I have been thinking about creating a project called Apache Cape which will be used as a guideline for creating GUI interfaces for Apache's many different projects which offer command line interfaces. My own experiences has been with FOP and Forrest, but I'm sure other projects could benefit from such a system.
Here's the DOAP file: http://people.apache.org/~clay/cape/doap.rdf Here's the description: === Apache Cape is a GUI interface to help novices, newbies and hopefully more advanced developers interact with Apache's many projects which offer command line interfaces. By using a tabbed window interface, in addition to offering the ability to run the application, it will enable the creation and modification of configuration scripts and other 'preferences' files. Ultimately, it will offer a system to create and save configuration files, and could even become a web-based application offering web-based interaction by providing Apache Tomcat hooks. The first version will run under Mac OS X, and be built with AppleScript Studio <http://www.apple.com/applescript/studio/> and/or Platypus <http://www.sveinbjorn.org/platypus>. However, I hope to have additional Windows, Linux an Unix developers join and create versions which run on their respective platforms. === BTW, the DOAPizer output invalid XML code. Here's the snippet which is invalid: <maintainer> <foaf:Person rdf:about="http://people.apache.org/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/#me"> <foaf:name>xxxxxx</foaf:name> <foaf:homepage rdf:resource="http://people.apache.org/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/"/> <foaf:mbox_sha1sum>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</foaf:mbox_sha1sum> <foaf:Person> <maintainer> Note that the trailing <foaf:Person> and <maintainer> elements are missing the '/' to close the XML elements. -- Regards, The Web Maestro -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - <http://homepage.mac.com/webmaestro/> My religion is simple.
