The Eclipse consortium for open source tools on Tuesday is announcing its
Visual Editor Project, to deliver a visual GUI construction and editor platform
.
With Eclipse's Visual Editor reference distributions, developers will no
longer have to build Java GUIs by writing source code by hand, according
to Eclipse. The effort is intended to provide support for any user interface
framework and programming language supported by Eclipse. A reference GUI
builder will be implemented for the Java Swing/JFC (Java Foundation Classes
) and SWT (Standard Widget Toolkit) GUI frameworks.
As part of the effort, IBM, a leader in the Eclipse organization, is contributing
source code for its Visual Editor for Java tool to Eclipse as an initial
source code contribution. This module provides a GUI builder for Swing user
interfaces.
IBM, in making its contribution, plans to focus on developing a commercial
product to link GUI clients to back-end J2EE servers, said IBM's Gili Mendel
, technical agent manager for Visual Editor for Java for the WebSphere Studio
Application Developer.
"We're going to give away [Visual Editor code] to Eclipse and we're going
to focus on a second-level tooling tier on top of it," Mendel said.
The Eclipse Visual Editor project is intended to provide reference development
tools and an API for use in commercial and open source ventures.
Other contributors, including Advanced Systems Concepts, Instantiations,
and Red Hat, will provide resources to deliver SWT support, Eclipse said.
