Re: [Xpipe-developers] XPipe GUI

[Sean M. <sea...@pr...>]

David,

Great stuff. I'm looking forward to looking at this. (Downloading netbeans...)

I think a number of IDEs out there could help reduce the development
time for some GUI based XComponent/XPipe tools.

I was thinking of using UML sequence or state diagrams in something
like ArgoUML for XPipe editing. ArgoUML can save out XMI which could be
processed (with XPipe of course) to create XPipe compliant pipelines.

Eclipse (http://www.eclipse.org) is another possibility.

An XPipe project-specific tool could be created using a graph editing toolkit
such as the GEF library used in ArgoUML.

Anybody got any suggestions for other open source graph editing toolkits
for Java?

Sean
