RAD TOOL developers wanted
Anonymous:
Well, there's a downpoint to using dialogblocks. It's commercial. And we've seen what can happen when we rely on proprietary technology for open source projects: Bitkeeper (Linux), Sun proprietary Java extensions (OpenOffice.org)...
It's better if we have 100% open code in codeblocks

Yes, DialogBlocks is commercial, but isn't developed by a MegaCorporation, it's developed by Julian Smart, no joke =) I mean, he is the most important developer in wx.
And he was gently enough to donate almost all of the RAD code to an IDE opensource project:
-Ask Julian to donate most of the DialogBlocks code.
He already has done that for another IDE (CodeDragon - wxStudio), but that project isn't maintained anymore.

let's see how upCase's code works. But I don't think using Julian Smart's resource editor would be good, i mean, if he wanted to make it GPL he would have. He has to live of something.
takeshimiya:
First of all, upCase, keep your good work =)
Anyways, regarding DialogBlocks always exist the option of donate part of the code (probably the difficult parts to upCase) to an opensource project (more if you consider that Julian already did that in the past).
I've talked to Julian about making it a plugin or generate projects and he replied:
--- Quote ---Hi,
Thanks for the suggestions! I'll give them some thought.
Making DB into a plugin is non-trivial, and potentially
a distraction from my rather long to-do list, but generating
a CB project should be more do-able.
Regards,
Julian

That is very nice, but why not making our own, by using the code if upCase? I know that it takes some time to get it all working correctly as it should, but it is ours then, and we know what the code is doing, so we are not depending on Julian to include bugs and features :)
upCase: your program looks very prommising, hopefully we can get a plugin of it very soon.
