[nebula-dev] New widgets available on Nebula examples perspective?

Hi all,

To get an actual look on the widgets that are presently available in the
new Nebula 2.0 release (in particular the Opal ones) , I have installed the
Nebula example perspective using the update site specified on the Nebula
download page (http://download.eclipse.org/nebula/releases/latest).

However, I have noticed that only a minor subset of the widgets is included
presently there, isn't it?
If so, is anyone already working on including all the widgets in the
examples perspective?

Would be nice to be able to demonstrate all the widgets and their
capabilities to someone in an easy manner, in particular the new Opal ones.

Best,
MP

Hi Matthias,

The example page needs a complete overhaul. It is very buggy and not so nice to play with. I some ideas but I am reluctant to share (because usually the man with the idea must also do the programming :):

I love to discuss some ideas on this list on how to redo the examples view.

Cheers,

Wim

Hi Wim,

I'm exactly your opposite: I'm not very creative, but I'm not afraid to
code (sometimes crazy) good ideas.

Example page is indeed not very sexy and is not very useful in fact :(

I think we can make this application looks like a "web page" library
sample, something like this :
- You have a menu with the list of all widgets on the left side, with some
button
- When you click on a button, you have a composite with a little
explanation, a widget sample and an excerpt of the code used in the sample.

What do you think of that ?

Good evening

Laurent

I like the idea of having a "web style" Nebula examples view and to present
also some code snippets as a quickstart there.

Why not gear to the style of the Eclipse Welcome page, however?
We could use some Nebula widgets itself for that, like the Gallery or the
Launcher.
