RE: [eclipse-incubator-e4-dev] Declaritive UI and XUL
|
To me declaritive UI is not that much about design wins, it is more
about providing people that are used to work with markup a way to create
user interfaces. JavaScript is also in the mix, it seems like an obvious
place to have a look at.
I had a brief look at the amount of extensions that are available for
Firefox, and it seems to be 4756 add-ons. This is four times more than
the amount of plug-ins that I am aware of for Eclipse. Probably most of
the extensions use XUL, but I don't know that for sure.

I read through the XUL doc at one point, and spent some time playing
with the tutorial, but that's about it. At the time, it seemed
reasonable, but I didn't see a lot of design wins. Is XUL getting
traction?

Has anybody in this group already had a closer look at XUL? It would
make a quite compelling story if the Mozilla Foundation and the Eclipse
Foundation would use a common declarative UI language.
XUL seems to be closely aligned with the DOM, a goal that I have also
heard for e4. I know that this would seriously limit the degrees of
freedom available to us. But if we consider XUL a possible way to go we
may want to reach out to the Mozilla community for the summit.
They also have a declarative databinding framework.
