Plug-ins

Scout Client Shared Server.png

A Scout project is composed of different Eclipse plug-ins. (each plug-in is an Eclipse Project)

The Scout runtime rely on separation of UI and GUI. Therefore additional plug-ins are required:

  • SWT UI Plug-In (eg your.application.ui.swt)
  • Swing UI Plug-In (eg your.application.ui.swing)


Client

Depending of the type of application, the client concepts are not equally used.

The Desktop can be considered as the root of the application. It configures the main window.

For the user interaction, actions such as menus allows the user to trigger some actions. Forms and their field provide some controls to enter some data.

Outlines and Pages are particularly relevant for outline based application.

Server

Shared

It contains resources that are required by the Client and the Server: Text, Icons, Enumerations, Permission, Lookup Calls, Interfaces...
