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Unfortunately, http://www.ovirt.org/DebugFrontend is out of date, I'll try to update it soon.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

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. If you're already familiar with GWT and GWTP, you'll be in better shape.
In addition to the UI Plugins that Oved mentioned, oVirt also has branding support for changing colors, logos, etc.: http://www.ovirt.org/Feature/Branding
If you're sure you want to do GWT development on oVirt, start here: http://www.ovirt.org/DebugFrontend

Hi
If you would like to customize the UI to fit your needs, like adding new tabs, new action buttons, and etc., then I recommend reading the wiki pages about UI plugins: Formal page: http://www.ovirt.org/Features/UIPlugins
Blog posts regarding that: http://ovedou.blogspot.co.il/ http://developerblog.redhat.com/2013/12/19/advanced_integration_rhevm-part2/ http://developerblog.redhat.com/2013/12/19/advanced_integration_rhevm-part1/ http://developerblog.redhat.com/2013/12/12/advanced_integration_rhevm-part1/
As for the architecture information, there is an architecture page on http://www.ovirt.org/Architecture, but it doesn't have a lot on GWT. Vojtech/Einav - can you send some information on that, or better update the wiki page?
Thank you, Oved

HI All：
If custom development the UI for oVirt, what's development technology must be learn, and where is the UI module in the resource? Where is the start step？
Where can find oVirt architecture document? I goto the office website, already read some development document, but still very clear the architecture of oVirt, special of the GWT part.

Thanks
