Glimmer seems like a well thought out and tested framework. I noticed this line of code in ListObserver
raise "hell" if value == ["Canada"]
Nice.
I have two questions. All the Glimmer examples start with shell. Can Glimmer be used to partial GUIs? How. Second, can I substitute a partial GUI with an existing partial GUI? How.
I figured it out, I created a new model called RShellBuffer that doesn't set the widgets parent in instantiation. Then in its "open" method, it iterates over the parent widgets children, disposes them, adds its own children to the parents widget. :)
I've tried jruby contact_manager.rb from trunk (r 20398) and got the error: (Configuration: MS Vista-32bit, java 1.6.0_12-b04, jruby 1.3.1 , facets-2.8.0, SWT 3.5.1)

lol, thanks for the catch.
I must have committed that debugging line of code by mistake. Good thing it's got a funny ironic value in it. :) I'll make sure to sort that out.
Thanks for figuring out the deal on how to substitute a partial GUI with an existing one.
One other way to tackle it is to have a method define your partial GUI and then call it from within the shell that will contain it.
def name_form
composite {
label {text "First name"}
text {}
label {text "Last name"}
text {}
}
end
def start_application
shell {
name_form
label {"D.O.B."}
text {}
}.open
end
Hope this helps address the scenario you had.
Hi, Andy, very interesting framework
Unfortunately not all samples work for me.

Thanks for reporting eugu.
I fixed it. Sync up with SVN and let me know how it goes.
yes, it working fine now, thanks
