Sandro Martini commented on PIVOT-840:
--------------------------------------
Add some more info to HelloJava and HelloBXML Tutorials (even related pages in
the web site), and add the main method in both to simplify their execution as
Java Applications.
> Improve instructions on how to use BXML in an application
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PIVOT-840
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-840
> Project: Pivot
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: demos, tutorials, web-site
> Environment: All Environments
> Reporter: Robert Brown III
> Assignee: Sandro Martini
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: application, bxml, demos, documentation, tutorials
> Fix For: 2.0.3
>
>
> All demos and documentation emphasize the use of BXML for specifying the user
> interface.
> All demos are implemented as applets where the system is apparently able to
> "find" the BXML file that it needs to create the UI.
> Unfortunately, when anyone attempts to use BXML in an actual desktop
> application, using the proper "ScriptApplication" class and setting the "src"
> property, the application keeps generating an error saying that it "cannot
> find" the BXML file.
> There are no instructions anywhere in the documentation about deploying a
> BXML file with a Pivot application. There is nothing saying where the file
> should be, how to get the ScriptApplication to find it, or any demos showing
> how to deploy a desktop application in general. There are no real
> instructions even for deploying BXML- based Applets!
> This is a "show- stopper" making Pivot's BXML mechanism unusable for most
> applications, in particular desktops.
> If people are to use BXML for most applications, some deployment instructions
> are seriously needed...
