Hi All, About Swing based XComponent editor. I think it should not be only editor it should provide features like compilation, debugging, executing XPipes etc. Also component developer should have ability to write and debug additional code, which will be used by XComponent for instance additional Java classes or scripts. I am afraid that development of such IDE will be very difficult and will take a lot of time. I propose to use existing IDE such Netbeans (Sun Forte) with additional modules for XComponent support. This IDE is based on open APIs and has very flexible infrastructure for additional modules. This approach gives ability to use existing services of the IDE such project manager, project tree explorer, java debugger etc. Netbeans is free open source project and for XComponents development will be required only to download it and XComponent module and use it free. Netbeans also allows adding support for XSLT, Jython and other script languages. You can see prototype of XComponent module for Netbeans at http://xpipe.tripod.com/ Please don't forget it is only prototype :) I used David Starr's draft Java implementation of XComponent. But I was forced to place it in package (org.xpipe) because it is a requirement of Netbeans modules specification. David Shalamberidze da...@sa... |
