Eclipse Scout 3.9 adds Support for Mobile Applications
Scout is a framework to build business applications based on the Eclipse platform. So far, Scout client applications included support for Swing or SWT to build desktop applications, and Eclipse RAP for web applications.
New with the Kepler release, Scout has added support for creating mobile applications that run on tablets and smart phones. Thanks to the clean separation of the Scout application model from a specific UI technology Scout applications may now be deployed on mobile phones, as web applications or to the desktop with a single code base. This feature greatly reduces maintenance costs for larger applications that need to be available on multiple frontends.
Being independent of specific UI technologies is one of Scout's major assests. Among other benefits, it reduces the long term risks of "marrying" large and important business applications to the "wrong" UI technology to almost zero. In fact, the default setup of Scout applications enforces the separation of business code from UI technology codes.
As this article has been written for software developers without prior knowledge of Scout we want to provide a hands-on introduction based on the Scout package provided on eclipse.org/downloads. To install the Scout package you only need working installation of a JDK version 6 or 7. all standard, in case you prefer detailed instructions -> link to html book (specific version 3.9, not nightly)
The Hello World
