UserLibrary workspace enhancements #392
Description
This feature will provide some enhancement to the workspace management of custom controls.
- users can link external jars/fxmls or folders to a workspace that is saved in a xml file inside the userlibrary folder. Jars/fxmls are not copied inside the library folder but are just linked as an external source.
- ability to import/export a workspace
- command line parsing the workspace: a new switch --ws to instruct SB to load that workspace (e.g. in Windows launching SceneBuilder.exe --ws="C:\Users\donaldduck\myworkspace.xml")
- the last workspace imported in SB should be persistent, meaning that it would behave like regular jars/folders added to the library as before. The workspace can be altered by using an import or by launching SB with the command line switch --ws
- workspace is saved in xml format using XStream library (gradle "com.thoughtworks.xstream:xstream:)
This is the concept of what I am proposing (taken from #236 -- I'm the author of that too..)
Current Behavior
Currently there is no easy way to switch from a set of libraries imported into SB to another set.
That would be useful when working on different projects, e.g. because different projects requires different libraries in different versions.
A workaround to this is to have some batch that clear the jars and copies all of them under the library folder before launching SB.
