JFace Viewer

JFace Viewer is a developer-focused tool that lets you model and preview how Eclipse JFace viewers bind to data models. It supports ListViewer, TableViewer, TreeViewer, and TreeTableViewer by accepting a dataset and a viewer type, then producing a binding configuration that would be used in Java code. The tool does not render a live UI in the browser; instead it radiates a portable configuration that can be consumed by code generators, test frameworks, or IDE templates.
Conceptually, the workflow maps dataset fields to viewer elements, defines column definitions, and applies default sorting and filtering rules. It auto-detects common binding patterns (for example, id-to-row key, name-to-column label) and lets advanced users override mappings with explicit field-to-property bindings.
Who benefits: Java developers building Eclipse RCP or standalone UI components; QA teams validating data presentation; architecture teams drafting UI bindings. Unique value: multi-viewer support, dataset-agnostic mapping, exportable configuration, and validation feedback that highlights missing mappings and type mismatches. Core features: dataset ingestion, viewer-type selection, column and binding definitions, simple validation, and JSON export.
Use cases include validating how a dataset would render in a list, table, or tree without compiling code, generating templates for scaffolding, and accelerating UI design reviews.
