about ToolBuilder

stephane ducasse
Hi guys

during the sprint I discussed with Gary about ToolBuilder and we think that it would be better to remove it
since a lot of new widgets are not covered so this means that we will be constantly limiting ourselves.
Of course ToolBuilder is a nice idea (if we would have several UI framework). So far we got only one
and we would have several we would have to take the smallest common denominator.
Another idea would be to extend toolBuilder to support new widgets.
So what do you think?

I agree that it should be removed, but this means that many tools need
to be rewritten in plain morphic.

Oh, I'm using it for Mars... but I can remove it anyway, just let me know.

Re: about ToolBuilder

Carla F. Griggio
Hmmm but if Mars is using it, there will be another UI framework using ToolBuilder, so it would have sense to keep it, maybe?

What I suggest is that we wait a bit. I would like to see with benjamin if we can help UIBuilder to get some windowspec
and UIbuilder (VW like approach) or if this is possible to extend toolbuilder to support all the widgets.
