Scout/Concepts/Separation UI and GUI

< Scout‎ | Concepts
Revision as of 16:53, 6 September 2011 by Dev.jmini.fr (Talk | contribs)

The Scout documentation has been moved to https://eclipsescout.github.io/.

Eclipse Scout uses its own component model for the client. This model is do not rely on any UI library. Rendering the GUI using a UI library is part of the framework. A Swing and a SWT GUI implementation are provided.


Overview

Scout gui representation.png

This represents how the UI and the GUI of Eclipse Scout and your application based on Eclipse Scout work together. On the left there is the plugin org.eclipse.scout.rt.client (UI) and the plugin org.eclipse.scout.rt.ui.swt (GUI). The UI plugin does not have any dependency to the GUI plugin so that it stays independent. On the right side there are the counterparts of the scout plugins which form your applications client.


Example
