GUI Window to XML

Hello!

I am running my SWING Java program outside Eclipse or under debug, and want to grab this window to Wireframe's XML.

Is that supported? Shift+Alt+F2 works inside Eclipse only, so it has not any sense for me. Can I run your spy as standalone program and grab another standalone apps (SWING or QT)?

Hi,

The Spy plugin is designed to work with Eclipse and Eclipse-based applications. It's mostly a proof of concept thing that I didn't take too far. Right now it only works with SWT toolkit.

In some near future I plan to open-source WireframeSketcher's Java model and the Spy plugin. This should make it possible for users to integrate WireframeSketcher in other workflows like yours. I think a Spy app for SWING is easy to implement since SWING is similar to SWT and it's all Java. I am not sure about QT but it's probably also doable if you use their Java interface.

Best regards,

what about browsing the internet through eclipse and capturing via the copy key combination shift + alt + F5 is this possible?

Carey,

Capturing a webpage and transforming it to a wireframe is a difficult thing to do. I don't know about any other tool that does that.

If it's of any help, you can copy and paste text and images from the webpage into your wireframe.
