Today I'm pleased to announce Eclipse's creation of the long-awated
Visual Editor Project!
The Visual Editor Project will be two things:
- Reference GUI builder implementations for Swing *and* sWT.
- A framework making it easier to create new GUI builders for your
favorite language and widget set. Or just to create GUI builder
enhancements for your favorite Swing or SWT features. Prefer C/C++?
Help us add C/C++ support and you've got it.
What's here today?
Today we've delivered first-class Swing support based upon the code base
that has previously only been available to IBM Websphere Application
Developer customers. Advanced Systems Concepts, IBM, Instantiations,
and Red Hat along with any of you who want to contribute will be working
together to add first-class SWT support in the coming months.
So where's the goods?
Just click on over to http://www.eclipse.org/vep to visit our project
home page!
Or if you want to read the formal announcement, it's at
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/indextools.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E /vep-home/WebContent/PRGUIBuilder.final.html
The project newsgroup and mailing list should appear sometime today or
tomorrow in the usual places. (The Eclipse infra team tells me they're
swamped so they might not get to it as quickly as they might like.)
Until the newsgroup/mailing list are live, we'll be hanging out on
eclipse.platform, so you can ask questions there for the time being.
I Look forward to seeing you there and I'm excited about what we can do
together!
Best regards,
Dave Orme
Visual Editor Project lead
Chief architect of SWTworkbench

That is very interesting and long awaited functionality.
What are the plans to run VEP, GEF and Webtools on Eclipse 3.0?
For GEF it is probably not an issue, just a matter of changing
required version of platform in plugin manifest, but I was not able to
run VEP on 3.0.
regards,
Eugene

Wow, and it works like a charm. Now I wonder why we purchased WSAD.

Well, WSSD had the VEJ so hopefully you are using the EJB tools or the
performance profiling tools that are specific to WSAD. :-)

I don't know that we have a version number assigned yet, but right now
we're shooting for end of Q2 2004.
Of course this is all subject to change. We're merging our release
schedule with Eclipse's and we don't yet know what Eclipse's release
schedule will look like after 3.0. So, the upshot is that it'll be
ready when it's ready, yada yada yada. :-)
We have some really outstanding people already on the team with lots of
SWT and general GUI builder writing experience, so I have a lot of
confidence. On the other hand, since we're open source now, so our only
deadlines are self-imposed and the more people we've got helping, the
faster the work goes, etc...
Best Regards,
Dave

Dave thanks again for the amazing piece of software. Also whoever put
the viewlet together did a fantastic job really show casing the
functionality.

It's fixed already; closing bug. :-)
