ZPE UI, the official plugin, has been maintained from time to time because, to be honest, it works quite nicely. But the biggest problem with it is that is a plugin, which means no ZPEX.
In addition to this, since ZPE UI is built in Swing, it cannot be used by ZPEX, even if it were embedded straight into ZPE.
So here's the plan:
- ZPE UI will continue to be a plugin for ZPE itself
- ZPE will soon begin to bundle its own UI building toolkit
- ZPEX will be able to use the new UI building toolkit
This will require a lot of work. I'm hoping this will be ready for release in September at the earliest, with previews running through August.
To be clear, this will not be replacing the standard editor built into the ZPE package yet, but at some point it might. For that, I'd direct you to ZIDE, which is already an excellent IDE for ZPE.
