Introduction
TK-UI is a proposed open source component under the Eclipse Platform Incubator project. TK-UI's purpose is to:
- CSS/Styling : provide extensible CSS engine which is able to apply styles to any Object (SWT widget, Swing container, XML element....)
- JFace Databinding DOM : provide JFace Databinding implementation to to bind DOM Node (Attribute, Element, Document...).
- Declarative UI : (not sure that E4 are interested?).
CSS Styling
JFace Databinding DOM
Declarative UI
1. Describe UI with any XML based markup language. Today TK-UI implements XUL and XHTML.
2. Render XML markup with any GUI library. Today TK-UI supports both SWT and Swing.
4. Use of JFace Databinding to bind UI widgets with a DOM structure (elements, attributes).
5. Manage binding with DBEL (Databinding expression language) to bind UI widgets with POJOs, Scriptable objects
or another UI widget. XAML binding expression is implemented, and it's possible to easily implement
your own binding expression.
6. Mix several XML markup languages (ex : use XHTML and XUL in the same document, and use XAML binding expression
with XUL controls).
7. Manage the UI tree with a DOM document in a similar fashion of Javascript/HTML :
* use DOM document.addEventListener to add UI event listener.
* use document.createElement('input') to add a Text widget.
8. Manage logic of the UI with a scripting language (Javascript...) or with a Java POJO (similar to JSF Backing beans).
