Possibly... I didn't know you supported that. Right now we are working on getting a base PoC working, so if you want, take a look at this repo, it would be the place to start:

https://github.com/forge/jbosstools-forge/tree/forge2

If you think Metawidget makes sense here, we can think about using it. If it works, it might be beneficial since that would mean we'd effectively get a number of UIs for free (web as well.)

To fill you in on where we are, we are building dynamic UI based on metadata from Forge 2 UICommand and UIWizard instances:

https://github.com/forge/core/blob/2.0/ui/api/src/main/java/org/jboss/forge/ui/UICommand.java

So it could be a good fit. Please feel free to play around and let us know what you find :) There are still quite a few things in this API that will likely change as we discover what does/does not work. So more feedback is good.

Would you guys find Metawidget useful for this? It has a runtime SWT version (see the SWT Address Book example in the distribution).

If not, is there something I can do to make Metawidget more applicable for your use case?
