Griffon and Netbeans Platform

[Thierry Andriamirado]

Thanks a lot for sharing with us, Andres and Danno. Griffon is really interresting and very promising.

For some projects about to begin, I was planning to use the Netbeans Platform. Now I am wondering whether combining Netbeans Platform + Griffon is possible, and if so, how? Or do you advise against this kind of adventure?

Cheers,
Thierry

Hi Thierry,

It certainly is possible. You would have to choose which framework is the lead though. Either you bootstrap the application using NBP and somehow instantiate Griffon components and MVC groups; or you bootstrap a Griffon application and call NBP modules.

This is a question that appears form time to time but to be really honest noone has actually come back and told us about their experience. I'm not an NB user myself so I really can't say much about the whole experience. I hope I can change that in the future.

Cheers,
Andres

Andres,

This is encouraging! I'll improve my Griffon skills so I'll be able to make some experiments one of these days. Actually, I am diving into Griffon since a few days, and can't refrain to explore it deeper. I suspect that I won't talk about NBP anymore in a few weeks, as I realize Griffon's power ;). Thanks to the griffon guide and to your blog!

Thank you so much Andres!
