Hi, i wonder if anyone considered (and evaluated) the usage of the eclipse rcp framework for a josm-ng implementation. If yes, do you see any problems with using the eclipse rcp?
Recently i spent some days to build a simple josm-ng protoype [1][2] using the eclipse rcp framework. In my opinion it would be an suitable option for a powerfull josm implementation. At least the framework would provide a lot of basic but mature functionality (gui concepts, extensibility, preferences, ...) so we could put more and better focus on actual osm related features instead of building our own stuff from scratch. The only(?) real (but major) drawback is the need of different builds for different platforms. (as this mostly affects only static parts like luncher and update stuff, platform dependent builds are only required for an initial release. All other functionality can be integrated and updated as platform independent plugins) [1] http://osm.studio-24.net/images/aurora/aurora-2009-03-28-2.png [2] http://osm.studio-24.net/images/aurora/aurora-2009-04-04-1.png Best regards Frederik F. _______________________________________________ josm-dev mailing list josm-dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/josm-dev
