Overview of ViewDesigner Plug-in

The layout and design of web or portal page(s) is done by professional web designers. Web designers are comfortable with tools such as Dreamweaver, Microsoft FrontPage and so on. Most portals at present, provide a web based user interface to create, design, and theme a portal. So, it would be better and an advantage, if portals provide a method by which a web designer is able to use professional web design tools to create an elegantly designed portal.

The ViewDesigner plug-in makes it possible for a web designer to create a well designed user interface for a portal in Sun GlassFish Web Space Server. The ViewDesigner project aims to provide plug-ins for popular web design tools, which enables a web designer to easily customize, design, and theme a portal page. For more information on ViewDesigner project, see the project home page.

At present, the Sun GlassFish Web Space Server provides a plug-in for DreamWeaver 8, Adobe Dreanweaver CS3, and Adobe Dreamweaver CS4.

Currently, the ViewDesigner plug-in is supported only on Windows platform.
