Developer forums (C::B DEVELOPMENT STRICTLY!) > Plugins development
RAD TOOL developers wanted
byo:
It seems that RAD development got little bit weird.
As I undedrstant we currently have:
upCASE-s standalone app
wxFormBuilder also stasndalone app
wxSmith (mine) plugin only.
thedeurf also started to work on his own plugin but he decided to join me
IF nothing will be changed, there will be three different plugins for wxWidget RAD development. Somehow it's good because developers will be able to choose what they want. But shouldn't C::B has one RAD tool system ? And if Yes, which one of projects mentioned above should be used ? (I guess that nobody would like to abandon his project so this may be a serious problem ;) )
David Perfors:
Perhaps we could merge the projects, and get the best out of them ?

Right... I disslike the thought of having wasted my time (about 6 month or more now) developing my editor for nothing... Not now as it actually starts working :D
Honestly I don't really know if it will ever be possible to integrate my editor as a "true" plugin. I never intended that when I started it, so maybe it isn't even possible without rewriting most parts.

I doubt this will be possible as I guess we all did it in a different way, with different thoughts on our minds.
Diversity isn't a bad thing after all. C::B will have a GUI plugin like byos. I had plans to make it possible to import rc files and Qt Designer files with my editor and let it generate different project files. Maybe I'll stick with that idea, so changing toolkits will be made easy.

Heh, currently I see many tools :)
I think that we all should keep working on our codes. Each tool is a valuable thing and none of us - developers has wasted time during creation. As I suppose many wx devecopers will use different tools for different things. And as I guess f.ex. my plygin could be good bor wx Beginners but proffesionals could use upCase's standalone app to use special adventages of his work.
I hope that all apps and plugins will cooperate in future, so there's nothing to care about for now (QT has really nice tools for it's windows development but these are standalone apps and as I remember Kdevelop use them) :).
Hmm, I have one question dedicated to C::B leaders (mandrav, rickg22), what's Your opinion ?

Plurality and freedom of choice is never a bad thing ;)
