+
+### Packaging
+
+Glimmer packaging tasks are detailed under [Packaging & Distribution](#packaging--distribution).
+
+### Raw JRuby Command
+
+If there is a need to run Glimmer directly via the `jruby` command, you
+may run the following:
+
+```
+jruby -J-classpath "path_to/swt.jar" -r glimmer -S application.rb
+```
+
+The `-J-classpath` option specifies the `swt.jar` file path, which can be a
+manually downloaded version of SWT, or otherwise the one included in the gem. You can lookup the one included in the gem by running `jgem which glimmer` to find the gem path and then look through the `vendor` directory.
+
+The `-r` option preloads (requires) the `glimmer` library in Ruby.
+
+The `-S` option specifies a script to run.
+
+#### Mac Support
+
+The Mac is well supported with the `glimmer` command. The advice below is not needed if you are using it.
+
+However, if there is a reason to use the raw `jruby` command directly instead of the `glimmer` command, you need to pass an extra option (`-J-XstartOnFirstThread`) to JRuby on the Mac (Glimmer automatically passes it for you when using the `glimmer` command).
+
+Example:
+```
+jruby -J-XstartOnFirstThread -J-classpath "path_to/swt.jar" -r glimmer -S application.rb
+```
+
 ## Girb (Glimmer irb) Command

+### Drag and Drop
+
+Glimmer offers Drag and Drop support, thanks to [SWT](https://www.eclipse.org/swt/) and Glimmer's lightweight [DSL syntax](#glimmer-dsl-syntax).
+
+You may learn more about SWT Drag and Drop support over here: [https://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-SWT-DND/DND-in-SWT.html](https://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-SWT-DND/DND-in-SWT.html)
+
+To get started, simply follow these steps:
+1. On the drag source widget, add `on_drag_set_data` [DragSourceListener](https://help.eclipse.org/2020-03/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/swt/dnd/DragSourceListener.html) event handler block at minimum (you may also add `on_drag_start` and `on_drag_finished` if needed)
+1. Set `event.data` to transfer via drag and drop inside the `on_drag_set_data` event handler block (defaults to `transfer` type of `:text`, as in a Ruby String)
+1. On the drop target widget, add `on_drop` [DropTargetListener](https://help.eclipse.org/2020-03/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/swt/dnd/DropTargetListener.html) event handler block at minimum (you may also add `on_drag_enter` [must set [`event.detail`](https://help.eclipse.org/2020-06/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/swt/dnd/DropTargetEvent.html#detail) if added], `on_drag_over`, `on_drag_leave`, `on_drag_operation_changed` and `on_drop_accept` if needed)
+1. Read `event.data` and consume it (e.g. change widget text) inside the `on_drop` event handler block.
+
+Example (taken from [samples/hello/hello_drag_and_drop.rb](#hello-drag-and-drop) / you may copy/paste in [`girb`](#girb-glimmer-irb-command)):
+
+```ruby
+class Location
+  attr_accessor :country
+  
+  def country_options
+    %w[USA Canada Mexico Columbia UK Australia Germany Italy Spain]
+  end
+end
+
+@location = Location.new
+
+include Glimmer
+
+shell {
+  text 'Hello, Drag and Drop!'
+  list {
+    selection bind(@location, :country)
+    on_drag_set_data { |event|
+      list = event.widget.getControl
+      event.data = list.getSelection.first
+    }
+  }
+  label(:center) {
+    text 'Drag a country here!'
+    font height: 20
+    on_drop { |event|
+      event.widget.getControl.setText(event.data)
+    }
+  }
+}.open
+```
+
+![Hello Drag and Drop](images/glimmer-hello-drag-and-drop.gif)
+
+Optional steps:
+- Set a `transfer` property (defaults to `:text`). Values may be: :text (default), :html :image, :rtf, :url, and :file, or an array of multiple values. The `transfer` property will automatically convert your option into a [Transfer](https://help.eclipse.org/2020-03/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/swt/dnd/Transfer.html) object as per the SWT API.
+- Specify `drag_source_style` operation (may be: :drop_copy (default), :drop_link, :drop_move, :drop_none, or an array of multiple operations)
+- Specify `drag_source_effect` (Check [DragSourceEffect](https://help.eclipse.org/2020-06/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/swt/dnd/DragSourceEffect.html) SWT API for details)
+- Specify `drop_target_style` operation (may be: :drop_copy (default), :drop_link, :drop_move, :drop_none, or an array of multiple operations)
+- Specify `drop_target_effect` (Check [DropTargetEffect](https://help.eclipse.org/2020-06/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/swt/dnd/DropTargetEffect.html) SWT API for details)

+
+Glimmer supports logging via a Ruby Logger configurable with the `Glimmer::Config.logger` config option.
+It is disabled by default to ensure not affecting desktop app performance.
+It may be enabled via `Glimmer::Config.enable_logging`
+When enabled, the Glimmer logger level defaults to `:warn` (aka `Logger::WARN`)
+It may be configured to show a different level of logging via `Glimmer::Config.logger.level` just ike with any Ruby Logger.
+
+Example:
+
+```ruby
+Glimmer::Config.enable_logging
+Glimmer::Config.logger.level = Logger::DEBUG
+```
+This results in more verbose debug loggging to `STDOUT`, which is very helpful in troubleshooting Glimmer DSL syntax when needed.

+
+### import_swt_packages
+
+Glimmer automatically imports all SWT Java packages upon adding `include Glimmer`, `include Glimmer::UI::CustomWidget`, or `include Glimmer::UI::CustomShell` to a class or module. It relies on JRuby's `include_package` for lazy-importing upon first reference of a Java class.
+
+As a result, you may call SWT Java classes from Glimmer Ruby code without mentioning Java package references explicitly.
+
+For example, `org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Color` can be referenced as just `Color`
+
+The Java packages imported come from the [`Glimmer::Config.import_swt_packages`](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-swt/blob/master/lib/ext/glimmer/config.rb) config option, which defaults to `Glimmer::Config::DEFAULT_IMPORT_SWT_PACKAGES`, importing the following Java packages:
+```
+org.eclipse.swt.*
+org.eclipse.swt.widgets.*
+org.eclipse.swt.layout.*
+org.eclipse.swt.graphics.*
+org.eclipse.swt.browser.*
+org.eclipse.swt.custom.*
+org.eclipse.swt.dnd.*
+```
+
+If you need to import additional Java packages as extra Glimmer widgets, you may add more packages to [`Glimmer::Config.import_swt_packages`](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-swt/blob/master/lib/ext/glimmer/config.rb) by using the `+=` operator (or alternatively limit to certain packages via `=` operator).
+
+Example:
+
+```ruby
+Glimmer::Config.import_swt_packages += [
+  'org.eclipse.nebula.widgets.ganttchart'
+]
+```
+
+Another alternative is to simply add a `java_import` call to your code (e.g. `java_import 'org.eclipse.nebula.widgets.ganttchart.GanttChart'`). Glimmer will automatically take advantage of it (e.g. when invoking `gantt_chart` keyword)
+
+Nonetheless, you can disable automatic Java package import if needed via this Glimmer configuration option:
+
+```ruby
+Glimmer::Config.import_swt_packages = false
+```
+
+Once disabled, to import SWT Java packages manually, you may simply:
+
+1. `include Glimmer::SWT::Packages`: lazily imports all SWT Java packages to your class, lazy-loading SWT Java class constants on first reference.
+
+2. `java_import swt_package_class_string`: immediately imports a specific Java class where `swt_package_class_string` is the Java full package reference of a Java class (e.g. `java_import 'org.eclipse.swt.SWT'`)
+
+Note: Glimmer relies on [`nested_imported_jruby_include_package`](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/nested_inherited_jruby_include_package), which automatically brings packages to nested-modules/nested-classes and sub-modules/sub-classes.
+
+You can learn more about importing Java packages into Ruby code at this JRuby WIKI page:
+
+https://github.com/jruby/jruby/wiki/CallingJavaFromJRuby
+
+### loop_max_count
+
+Glimmer has infinite loop detection support. 
+It can detect when an infinite loop is about to occur in method_missing and stops it. 
+It detects potential infinite loops when the same keyword and args repeat more than 100 times, which is unusual in a GUI app.
+
+The max limit can be changed via the `Glimmer::Config::loop_max_count=(count)` config option.
+
+Infinite loop detection may be disabled altogether if needed by setting `Glimmer::Config::loop_max_count` to `-1`

+
+### Elaborate Samples
+
+For more elaborate samples, check the following:
 
-Glimmer automatically imports all SWT Java packages upon adding `include Glimmer` to a class or module.
+#### Login
 
-Here are the Java packages imported:
 ```
-org.eclipse.swt.*
-org.eclipse.swt.widgets.*
-org.eclipse.swt.layout.*
-org.eclipse.swt.graphics.*
-org.eclipse.swt.browser.*
-org.eclipse.swt.custom.*
+glimmer samples/elaborate/login.rb # demonstrates basic data-binding
 ```
 
-This allows you to call SWT Java classes from Ruby without mentioning Java package references.
+![Login](images/glimmer-login.png)
+![Login Filled In](images/glimmer-login-filled-in.png)
+![Login Logged In](images/glimmer-login-logged-in.png)
 
-For example, after imports, `org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Color` can be referenced by just `Color`
+#### Tic Tac Toe Sample
 
-Nonetheless, you can disable automatic import if needed via this Glimmer configuration option:
+```
+glimmer samples/elaborate/tic_tac_toe.rb # demonstrates a full MVC application
+```
 
-```ruby
-Glimmer::Config.import_swt_packages = false
+![Tic Tac Toe](images/glimmer-tic-tac-toe.png)
+![Tic Tac Toe In Progress](images/glimmer-tic-tac-toe-in-progress.png)
+![Tic Tac Toe Game Over](images/glimmer-tic-tac-toe-game-over.png)
+
+#### Contact Manager
+
+```
+glimmer samples/elaborate/contact_manager.rb # demonstrates table data-binding
 ```
 
-To import SWT Java packages manually instead, you have 2 options:
+Contact Manager
 
-1. `include Glimmer::SwtPackages`: lazily imports all SWT Java packages to your class, lazy-loading SWT Java class constants on first reference.
+![Contact Manager](images/glimmer-contact-manager.png)
 
-2. `java_import swt_package_class_string`: immediately imports a specific Java class where `swt_package_class_string` is the Java full package reference of a Java class (e.g. `java_import 'org.eclipse.swt.SWT'`)
+Contact Manager - Find
 
-Note: Glimmer relies on [`nested_imported_jruby_include_package`](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/nested_inherited_jruby_include_package), which automatically brings packages to nested-modules/nested-classes and sub-modules/sub-classes.
+![Contact Manager](images/glimmer-contact-manager-find.png)
 
-You can learn more about importing Java packages into Ruby code at this JRuby WIKI page:
+Contact Manager - Edit Started
 
-https://github.com/jruby/jruby/wiki/CallingJavaFromJRuby
+![Contact Manager](images/glimmer-contact-manager-edit-started.png)
 
-## Infinite Loop Detection
+Contact Manager - Edit In Progress
 
-Glimmer can detect if an infinite loop occurs with method_missing by ensuring it does not loop with the same keyword and args more than 100 times.
+![Contact Manager](images/glimmer-contact-manager-edit-in-progress.png)
 
-The max limit can be changed via the `Glimmer::Config::loop_max_count=(count)` method.
+Contact Manager - Edit Done
 
-Infinite loop detection may be disabled by setting `Glimmer::Config::loop_max_count` to `-1`
+![Contact Manager](images/glimmer-contact-manager-edit-done.png)
 
-## Logging
+### External Samples
 
-Glimmer comes with a Ruby Logger accessible via `Glimmer::Config.logger`
-Its level of logging defaults to `Logger::WARN`
-It may be configured to show a different level of logging as follows:
-```ruby
-Glimmer::Config.enable_logging
-Glimmer::Config.logger.level = Logger::DEBUG
-```
-This results in more verbose debugging log to `STDOUT`, which is helpful in troubleshooting Glimmer DSL syntax when needed.

-## Raw JRuby Command
+[Glimmer Calculator](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-cs-calculator) is a basic calculator sample project demonstrating data-binding and TDD (test-driven-development) with Glimmer following the MVP pattern (Model-View-Presenter).
 
-If there is a need to run Glimmer directly via the `jruby` command, you
-may run the following:
+#### Gladiator
 
-```
-jruby -J-classpath "path_to/swt.jar" -r glimmer -S application.rb
-```
+[<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-cs-gladiator/master/images/glimmer-gladiator.png" />](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-cs-gladiator)
 
-The `-J-classpath` option specifies the `swt.jar` file path, which can be a
-manually downloaded version of SWT, or otherwise the one included in the gem. You can lookup the one included in the gem by running `jgem which glimmer` to find the gem path and then look through the `vendor` directory.
+[Gladiator](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-cs-gladiator) (short for Glimmer Editor) is a Glimmer sample project under on-going development.
+You may check it out to learn how to build a Glimmer Custom Shell gem.
 
-The `-r` option preloads (requires) the `glimmer` library in Ruby.
+Gladiator is a good demonstration of:
+- MVP Pattern
+- Tree data-binding
+- List data-binding
+- Text selection data-binding
+- Tabs
+- Context menus
+- Custom Shell
+- Custom widget
 
-The `-S` option specifies a script to run.
+## In Production
+
+The following production apps have been built with Glimmer:
 
-### Mac Support

-Mac is well supported with the `glimmer` command. However, if there is a reason to use the raw jruby command, you need to pass an extra option (`-J-XstartOnFirstThread`) to JRuby on the Mac.
