RIC Ideas
Revision as of 15:12, 12 June 2006 by Unnamed Poltroon (Talk)
Random collections of thoughts an ideas.
Contents
XUL
- Developers describe views in XML and/or Java
- Should be really simple
- Should and not contain styling/layout information in it's schema
- Should support render specific hints (like "custom attributs")
Editor
- Provide a graphical editor (handwritten GEF or VEP based)
Databinding
- Developers bind data to views using Java
- Databinding synchronizes data in Java classes (beans) with data shown in views
- Synchronization happens transparently in the background, developers should not care
- Developers don't have to care about communication between renderer and the server, i.e. it's up to the renderer to provide a communication implementation
Rendering
- Views can be rendered in Eclipse RCP and Internet applications
- Views are skinnable in Internet applications
- Initial set of renderers
- RCP Renderer
- GWT Renderer
OSGi ready
- Supply bundles
