RE: XMLForm UI Builder
Thank you guys. I'll get a look to the XYbrix tool. Scott, your approach sounds good too. I'll appreciate a lot if you can drop me your ANT generation script to save me time and money -) Regards, Senhaji -Message d'origine- De : Nicola Ken Barozzi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Envoye : dimanche 17 novembre 2002 23:49 A : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Objet : Re: XMLForm UI Builder I've been using XYbrix (http://www.jbrix.org/kits/xybrix/overview.html) to edit xml files for some time and find it quite easy to use. IIUC it uses xforms stuff to make the forms, and it's all GUI.

There is no current work on a XMLForm builder, to my knowledge. But you are welcome to pitch in if you want.
