RE: [Springframework-rcp-dev] Samples

[Ben A. <ben...@ac...>]

Hi Keith

Any chance of checking the samples in earlier, or point me in the direction
of the foundation classes and Spring XML fragments to use? I am extremely
keen to participate, as the GUI is the next step of our current project.

To give some background, Acegi Technology is a licensee of JGoodies' Swing
Suite. I noticed you're using JGoodies' Forms project, which is great. Will
JGoodies Looks (https://looks.dev.java.net/) also become part of spring-rcp?

For our current project's GUI, we're trying to meet the user simplicity and
development extensibility goals. Prior to spring-rcp, we were going to use
JGoodies' Swing Suite to build an Eclipse-like system with Spring as its
foundation:

- Editors edit domain objects, using JGoodies Forms, validation framework
etc

- Views provide information in a non-edit fashion, but permit create,
rename, delete of domain objects, and opening of editors

- Views are dockable in different panels

- Menus, views and editors and so on are defined by plugins in a Spring
ApplicationContext

- Menus etc can be customised or disabled based on security entitlements and
licensing entitlements

- Reasonable architecture so those of us using commercial look and feels,
validation frameworks etc (like JGoodies Swing Suite) can use them without
causing issues or loss of functionality for those who haven't licensed them

How aligned is spring-rcp's goals/direction/status with the above?

I'm looking forward to participating.

Best regards
Ben

	Hi,
	Checking if there is anything about the samples yet :)
	Been investigating a bit, but I'm still quite lost trying to get a
small app running!
