Hi! thanks to Oved and Greg for providing useful references. Some more notes on oVirt UI architecture & development: - we use Google Web Toolkit (GWT) as the main UI SDK/technology: http://www.gwtproject.org/overview.html attached slides "oVirt UI Developer Sessions: Google Web Toolkit" - we use GWT-Platform (GWTP) to utilize Model-View-Presenter architecture in our GWT application: https://github.com/ArcBees/GWTP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_View_Presenter http://www.gwtproject.org/articles/mvp-architecture.html http://www.gwtproject.org/articles/mvp-architecture-2.html http://courses.coreservlets.com/Course-Materials/pdf/ajax/GWT-MVP-Intro.pdf - we use GWT-Inject (GIN) for dependency injection: http://code.google.com/p/google-gin/wiki/GinTutorial - we have UI Plugin infrastructure that supports extending application UI via JavaScript/HTML: http://www.ovirt.org/Features/UIPlugins http://www.ovirt.org/Tutorial/UIPlugins/CrashCourse Unfortunately, http://www.ovirt.org/DebugFrontend is out of date, I'll try to update it soon. Also, http://www.ovirt.org/Architecture is missing the GWT UI part, will update that one too. In general, you can decide how to approach customizing oVirt UI: 1, change (Java/GWT) UI source code and rebuild Engine 2, write UI Plugin that extends existing application UI Regards, Vojtech ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Greg Sheremeta" <gshereme(a)redhat.com&gt; > To: "JustMan" <wang.tianyi(a)qq.com&gt; > Cc: "Oved Ourfalli" <ovedo(a)redhat.com&gt;, "engine-devel" > <engine-devel(a)ovirt.org&gt; > Sent: Monday, December 30, 2013 8:51:19 PM > Subject: Re: [Engine-devel] How to custom the UI for oVirt? > > The GWT architecture we use is based on GWTP, an MVP framework for GWT: > https://github.com/ArcBees/GWTP > > We don't currently have a widget hierarchy or catalog built. > > If you're just starting out with GWT, it's a steep learning curve.
