Re: [Springframework-rcp-dev] [Spring Desktop] ideas for the Desktop version

[Peter De B. <pet...@gm...>]

2nd attempt:

Can we reach a consensus here?
I think we need to go as fast as possible, to keep the momentum going...

1. code organization:

   - core
   - application: window, dialogs, page, view, action, ...
   - binding: validation, binding, forms
   - resources

2. singleton/service locator:

Get rid of it by clever use of custom xml, component scanning + autowiring,
convention over configuration, simpler object structures, ...

3. osgi support

First make sure we have something working, then see what we can do to
improve?


Again: I think we need to go fast, so we have something working as soon as
possible.


I already started on work on the application infrastructure code (window,
page, pagecomponent, view, editor) that will allow for much simpler (and
less) xml, multiple view instances at the same time (formerly known as
editors) and easier integration possibilities with 3rd party component
providers (i.e. Jide, SwingDocking, ...), and I expect to be able to check
them in this week. If you have questions/remarks/suggestions on these parts
of the framework, don't hesitate to give me a nudge!

Peter
