Are you writing code to dynamically instantiate SWT Controls and arrange them using, say,
a GridLayout or a MigLayout, or across TabFolders? Because
Metawidget has you covered for that. It'll also wire up Eclipse's DataBinding for
you (including lookups and enums). And of course you can plug in an
Inspector for whatever metadata you want to base it on.
Can you point me at the code where you're instantiating the SWT Controls?

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/for...
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?
