Pivot does not include a tool to convert WTKX/BXML into Java source, but if you take a look at the WTKX/BXML Primer pages, you will see how Pivot processes WTKX/BXML and therefore how you could convert to source if you wanted.
For instance... java packages = wtkx/bxml namespaces java classes = elements starting with an upper case character / create new object java class bean properties = elements starting with a lower case character Reference for Pivot 1.5.2 and earlier releases (WTKX) http://pivot.apache.org/tutorials/wtkx-primer.html Pre-release reference documentation for Pivot 2.0 (BXML) http://ixnay.biz/pivot-tutorials/bxml-primer.html The source for BXMLSerializer might also prove to be helpful if you did want to write such a tool. You might be able to extend or modify it without too much effort in order to spit out java source, or at least some data that could then be post-processed. http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pivot/trunk/core/src/org/apache/pivot/beans/BXMLSerializer.java Chris On 20 December 2010 10:26, calathus <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > I'm looking for a tool to convert bxml file to equivalent Java source > program. > Are there such tools? > > I just started using pivot, but many of sample is based on bxml. > I think in order to develop a UI library with Java generic class, XML file > based approach is not appropriate. > > And xml based approach will reduce static error detection capability. > I liked to see more examples using Java classes to define GUI without > relying on bxml files. > > -- > Cheers, > calathus > > > >
