for each language. Simple is good. Using that others can write and submit something in their preferred language and framework for consideration.
It will be easier to understand the tradeoffs and value if you can see it: what it takes to build and include what it’s dependencies are what the code looks like If you are looking for something to include in the project.

Maybe console. Then with these examples of API usage, people can have at it and there can be a bake off. It will be easier to agree on what a ‘sample.go’, sample.rust, sample.python etc would look like, and a minimal set of functionality than to pick a language and environment etc. the samples have to build everywhere plc4x builds and for everyone, the contrib/ui things can be optional so that we don’t have to setup anything exotic unless we want to.

I agree ... if the core of such a tool is created the right way, adding integration-wrappers into other tools should be easy. I guess sticking to an "as standard as possible ui technology" would help with this. So, I could imagine that it's easier to integrate a JavaFX ui into Netbeans, Eclips and IntelliJ than any client-server based web-ui tech. br/> < Also, could we consider having one logic core and multiple ui implementations.

So, by being a little clever, the clickable-jar could also be Netbeans plugin compatible, IF that is wanted by people. It is mostly a matter of having hooks for user input that can be hooked into NB's system rather than handled directly. Minor thing if one take care of it up front. And if it is then a plugin, then it is up to someone else to package that as a dedicated NB app, if such desires exist. Cheers Niclas
