Hi all,
perhaps you might be able to enlighten me on what exactly constitutes XUL compliance? I was originally of the understanding that XUL was the Mozilla standard as described at: http://www.mozilla.org/xpfe/xulref/.
When looking at the sourceforge site (http://xul.sourceforge.net/) for a stand alone XUL client (i.e. not Mozilla) I came across the heading "Major Open-Source XUL Motors - The Big Five". I thought that this was exactly what I needed. I was enticed by descriptions such as "Thinlet: Tiny XUL Motor in Java" or "SwiXml: Tiny (less than 30k) XUL Motor in Java for creating Swing UIs for apps". Upon looking at link after link, however, it became clear that none of these were XUL engines: at least not XUL as prescribed by Mozilla. They ware simply clients capable of generating UIs based on a proprietry flavour of XML.
This now raises two questions:
(1) does XUL on xul.sourceforge.net simply refer to ANY XML syntax used to descrie a GUI?
(2) is there any stand alone platform / engine for rendering the Mozilla XUL syntax?
Dominic.
