Codename One 8 will continue in some of the same directions but will also pivot strongly towards more open architectures.
We intend to build more upon the basic framework of Codename One Build. We think it’s better to use a single app to manage the build, settings and everything related to Codename One as opposed to using multiple plugins.
This will let us simplify the plugins and make them easier to update/maintain.
We also plan to migrate to Maven. This is already in progress and will materialize within the next couple of months. This will simplify some aspects of our build process and update/dependency management.
We will use CSS as the default framework effectively deprecating the designer approach. While the designer has many advantages ultimately CSS is the de-facto standard and with live CSS editing it’s a pretty compelling case.
We would also like to strengthen our desktop offering. We believe Codename One on the desktop has a unique value proposition for Java developers that no other framework offers at this time. This is especially true with our CEF support.
Finally, we intend to make it easier to build Codename One from sources and work with the open source code that’s already available.
