NYX (Not Yet Xulux) starting on SWT support
Here is a copy & paste from my mail to xulux-interest :
(see the
nyx website for current docs)
- Currently working on adding swt support in nyx. The default for nyx
will still be swing though. This way swt will be supported for all
todo's on the list and let's me focus on one widget at the time for both
swing and swt.
- Also updating testcases and adding them as much as possible.
- Do something about the heavily outdated documentation...
Todo list
- Add complete application support, instead of just single forms
- Add examples (currently a java profiler is in private cvs, that will
be completely gui-fied by nyx). It's just an hat replacement though, so
nothing fancy yet (using hprof ascii output..)
- Add generators for eg hibernate, eob, ojb and betwixt (other
suggestions welcome)
- Create a plugin for eclipse for nyx in nyx and creating plugin
widgets for that purpose. (this will be a GUI Editor)
- Dig into XUL to see if it can eventually replace the xml I am using.
- Add support for scripting
- Refactor the rule engine, so other engines can be plugged in (mainly
drools)
- Stephane Mor has volunteerd to create a jelly taglib for nyx when the
first official release is done (means alpha release).
- Add more sophistication to the widgets (eg adding functionalaty blocks
/ objects to widgets, like a sorter for combo's, a locator for combos,
page loading of data, etc,etc.
- Test under unix. For now using and xy layout, which hasn't been tested
on eg unix..
- Create junit extensions for nyx.
- Make it easier to see what's happing in nyx, Nyx must be able to run
in some kind of debugging mode. (sort of execution tree, eg what happens
when you change a field, etc).
- Localisation in the nyx xml (probably will handle it like eclipse does
with the percent sign, which maps to resourcebundles with the same name
as xml
- Add (better and tested) serialization support (eg remote gui
definitions)
