Xulux Coming Back To Live

Hi,

  The Xulux project that died aboring last year is
about to take off for real now at least that's what
Martin van den Bemt blogs in the story titled "XULUX
and NYX Gui Framework".

   Martin writes:

  Working my ass off lately to get NYX (Not Yet Xulux)
into a representable state for the autside world. At
the company I work for we are already doing a lot of
cool stuff with NYX and it reduced our development
time tremendously. Atm we just write some simple xml,
feed the parts (or forms, whatever you prefer) a bean
and everything just works and keeps on working. My
target is to cut a release by the end of the year, so
I can easily have my month in february without
programming, since I need to move and put the new
house in a better state than it is now.


  Before the release and before anyone wants to use
it: please wait for nyx to migrate to XULUX, since all
package names will be refactored for that move to
org.xulux instead of org.xulux.nyx.

  Still on my todo list are:

  - More widgets (still some basic widgets are missing
if you want a complete application written in nyx)

  - Make widgets completely gui independend. In rules
you request widgets and sometimes cast to eg the
Button widget, which is atm swing related.

  - Make widgets creation configurable (eg a
propertyhandler,etc)

  - Create the dataprovider API, which will drive the
data / gui / data interface (now only has some
advanced bean support)

  - Start developing on SWT widgets.

  - Finish refactor of rule engine

  - Optimize code and improve test coverage.

  The release will be seperated in a core package and
different jars for eg swing, swt, rule engines and
extensions to the default swing / swt packages. This
way I can keep nyx pretty small and have people choose
which options they need.

  I'll try to have some kind of update to the site
today, so there are more recent docs on there (which
are pretty much out of date).

  You can find Nyx at http://nyx.xulux.org and Xulux
at http://xulux.org
