News about UFacekit

There are some important news I'd like to share with all of you:

1. UFacekit Proposal

The proposal is out and we hope some of you are interested in the targets and ideas we follow with UFacekit. If you are please leave a note on the newly created newsgroup. Share your wishes, critism with us so that we can make UFacekit a success.

2. QT-Port

Just a few minutes ago I checked in a first running version of a QT-Port of the UFacekit-API. Besides providing this API we naturally provide bundles you can consume standalone (e.g. to only use a JFace-Viewer-API in QT-Jambi-Projects, ...).

So we now have:

• Support for SWT/JFace
  


• Support for Swing
  


• Support for QT (Cleanlooks Style)
  

Platforms I'd like to see a port in future:

• GWT - is going to be revived soon by one of the team-members
  
  
  
  • GXT
  
  
  • Other UI-Toolkits based upon GWT
  
  
  
  


• Eclipse-Forms - Should be fairly easy to do


• Android - The first test suggest it is possible though we need to see if all widget types are available. Maybe we can only provide some viewer and UI-Observables but not a full fledged UFace-API

Platforms I dream of a port in future:

• Draw2d


• OpenGL
