[Glimmer](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer) DSL for [SWT](https://www.eclipse.org/swt/) (formerly [Glimmer](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer)) is a native GUI (Graphical User Interface) cross-platform desktop development library written in [JRuby](https://www.jruby.org/), an OS-threaded faster [JVM](https://www.java.com/en/download/help/whatis_java.html) version of [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/). [Glimmer](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer)'s main innovation is a minimalistic declarative [Ruby DSL](docs/reference/GLIMMER_GUI_DSL_SYNTAX.md#glimmer-dsl-syntax) (Domain Specific Language) that enables productive and efficient authoring of professional-grade desktop applications by relying on the robust [Eclipse SWT library](https://www.eclipse.org/swt/), with the familiar native look, feel, and behavior of GUI on Mac, Windows, and Linux. [Glimmer](https://rubygems.org/gems/glimmer) additionally innovates by having built-in [data-binding](docs/reference/GLIMMER_GUI_DSL_SYNTAX.md#data-binding) support, which greatly facilitates synchronizing the GUI with domain models, thus achieving true decoupling of object oriented components and enabling developers to solve business problems (test-first) without worrying about GUI concerns, or alternatively drive development GUI-first, and then write clean business models afterwards. Not only does Glimmer provide a large set of GUI [widgets](docs/reference/GLIMMER_GUI_DSL_SYNTAX.md#widgets), but it also supports drawing Canvas Graphics like [Shapes](docs/reference/GLIMMER_GUI_DSL_SYNTAX.md#canvas-shape-dsl) and [Animations](docs/reference/GLIMMER_GUI_DSL_SYNTAX.md#canvas-animation-dsl). To get started quickly, [Glimmer](https://rubygems.org/gems/glimmer) offers [scaffolding](docs/reference/GLIMMER_COMMAND.md#scaffolding) options for [Apps](#in-production), [Gems](docs/reference/GLIMMER_COMMAND.md#custom-shell-gem), and [Custom Widgets](docs/reference/GLIMMER_GUI_DSL_SYNTAX.md#custom-widgets). [Glimmer](https://rubygems.org/gems/glimmer) also includes native-executable [packaging](docs/reference/GLIMMER_PACKAGING_AND_DISTRIBUTION.md) support, sorely lacking in other libraries, thus enabling the delivery of desktop apps written in [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/) as truly native DMG/PKG/APP files on the [Mac](https://www.apple.com/ca/macos), MSI/EXE files on [Windows](https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows), and DEB/RPM files on [Linux](https://www.linux.org/). [Glimmer](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer) was the [first Ruby gem](https://rubygems.org/gems/glimmer) to bring [SWT](https://www.eclipse.org/swt/) (Standard Widget Toolkit) to [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/), thanks to creator [Andy Maleh](https://andymaleh.blogspot.com/), EclipseCon/EclipseWorld/RubyConf speaker.

Additionally, [Eclipse RCP (Rich Client Platform, built on top of SWT) has been used by NASA to build Mars Rover operational software](https://www.eclipse.org/community/casestudies/NASAfinal.pdf).

**Starting in version 4.20.0.0, [Glimmer DSL for SWT](https://rubygems.org/gems/glimmer-dsl-swt) comes with the new [***Shine***](/docs/reference/GLIMMER_GUI_DSL_SYNTAX.md#shine) syntax** for highly intuitive and visually expressive View/Model Attribute Mapping, relying on `<=>` for bidirectional (two-way) data-binding and `<=` for unidirectional (one-way) data-binding, providing an alternative to the `bind` keyword. That was [originally conceived back in 2007](https://andymaleh.blogspot.com/2007/12/data-shining-in-glimmer.html).

description: Glimmer DSL for SWT (JRuby Desktop Development Cross-Platform Native
|
|
346
|
+
GUI Framework) is a native-GUI cross-platform desktop development library written
|
|
347
|
+
in JRuby, an OS-threaded faster JVM version of Ruby. It includes SWT 4.29 (released
|
|
348
|
+
on September 3, 2023). Glimmer's main innovation is a declarative Ruby DSL that
|
|
349
|
+
enables productive and efficient authoring of professional-grade desktop applications
|
|
350
|
+
by relying on the robust Eclipse SWT library, with the familiar native look, feel,
|
|
351
|
+
and behavior of GUI on Mac, Windows, and Linux. Glimmer additionally innovates by
|
|
352
|
+
having built-in data-binding support, which greatly facilitates synchronizing the
|
|
353
|
+
GUI with domain models, thus achieving true decoupling of object oriented components
|
|
354
|
+
and enabling developers to solve business problems (test-first) without worrying
|
|
355
|
+
about GUI concerns, or alternatively drive development GUI-first, and then write
|
|
356
|
+
clean business models (test-first) afterwards. Not only does Glimmer provide a large
|
|
357
|
+
set of GUI widgets, but it also supports drawing Canvas Graphics like Shapes and
|
|
358
|
+
Animations. To get started quickly, Glimmer offers scaffolding options for Apps,
|
|
359
|
+
Gems, and Custom Widgets. Glimmer also includes native-executable packaging support,
|
|
360
|
+
sorely lacking in other libraries, thus enabling the delivery of desktop apps written
|
|
361
|
+
in Ruby as truly native DMG/PKG/APP files on the Mac, MSI/EXE files on Windows,
|
|
362
|
+
and DEB/RPM files on Linux. Glimmer was the first Ruby gem to bring SWT (Standard
|
|
363
|
+
Widget Toolkit) to Ruby, thanks to creator Andy Maleh, EclipseCon/EclipseWorld/RubyConf
|
|
364
|
+
speaker. If you liked Shoes, You'll love Glimmer!
