Re: [eclipse-incubator-e4-dev] Declaritive UI and XUL
|
Have a look at http://xulapps.net/
E.g. http://xulapps.net/11/Multimedia/ or
http://xulapps.net/9/Editors_IDEs/ lists a few XUL based applications.

ZK has adopted it (http://www.zkoss.org/) and ZK seems to have some

The number of Add-ons for Firefox is amazing. I guess that it is easier
write a Firefox add-on than an Eclipse plug-in, but we have to check.

Subject: RE: [eclipse-incubator-e4-dev] Declaritive UI and XUL
To be clear: I wasn't diss'ing the use of XUL for building
Firefox/Lightning plug-ins. I was asking "Has it been used to build a
lot of other applications?".
re: four times more than ... Eclipse --
Do you believe that there is something inherent in the framework
that caused this, or is it just that more people care about browsers
than IDEs?

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.
