Re: [eclipse-incubator-e4-dev] CSS DOM Binding 
Jochen,

The last open source project I made was under LGPL. I don't have any
concern to place this one under EPL (but I never spent time to
investigate about their differences :-( )

About GEF :

I plan to use GEF on both sides, at the moment, I am just able to create
a viewer in a composite given this composite and an EMF model. (like an
outliner of the emf editor)
EMF model is displayed in the viewer using EditParts, there is 2
different POCs, one based on 'pure' draw2d figures and one based on SWT
controls.
I postponed the 'pure' draw2d engine because I need to redraw most of
the widgets from scratch. I will keep it and use it for example for
graphs (Zest) or more complex and graphical elements.


At the moment, are implemented :

* RowLayout,
* FillLayout
* RowData
* Composite
* Button
* Text

No more, I don't need more for my tests -;)

The user is able to :

Adding/Removing/Modifying/Reparenting  any element of the model
(Control, Layout, LayoutData...). using EMF editor or directly in the
EMF model using API.
Changes are directly refreshed to the displayed viewer.

Change states of displayed widgets like selecting button, filling
text... (and the changes are reflected into the the model, including
Adapter notification if existing)

I currently work on :

Using EMF Databing (by describing binding context using EMF, second model..)
Creating editPolicies allowing to edit (like in a visual editor) the
viewer.
In theory, it should be possible to change editpolicies at runtime, then
visualy editing a running viewer (toggle from runtime to Visual
Edition)... but I did not start to work on it, then I am not sure at all !!!

Olivier, that sounds great. Please add it to the wiki. Just fyi - your project needs to license the code under the EPL to be able to contribute to e4.

And one more question: Are you using GEF for the tooling or for the runtime side?

Jochen

Hi all,


I started, few monthes ago, a new open source project using EMF & GEF as a base for a Declarative UI engine.
Do you think I should add things to this wiki ?
My project is at the moment a POC (and probably less than that), I try to validate every declarative UI requirements before to start to publish it ;-)

Angelo, I quickly glanced over your technique of CSS/SWT. I noticed you used the method of adding a Display filter on SWT.Show events to do the styling. Is there a better way to do this? Do we need something from SWT to give a better notification of lifecycle than what we have now? Maybe the venerable SWT team can answer this question.
Maybe someone can get the various methods of styling out there currently so we can learn about them: 
http://wiki.eclipse.org/E4/DeclarativeUI
What do you think Angelo? Want to put your technique on the wiki so people learn about it?

    Hi sorry

    for my new mail about TK-UI
    <http://tk-ui.sourceforge.net/index.html>, but I have started
    TK-UI features <http://tk-ui.sourceforge.net/features.html>
    documentation
    where I speak about DOM, CSS and Databinding into TK-UI.
    Is it possible to add the TK-UI features
    <http://tk-ui.sourceforge.net/features.html> link to the
    E4/Modeling <http://wiki.eclipse.org/E4/Modeling>?

    Don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions.

    Regards Angelo
