[ANN] Widgetarium - Widget IDE Public Beta



Widgetarium 1.0b2 is currently available for public beta.

Widgetarium is an integrated development environment designed to make writing & testing widgets easier and faster.  It includes:

    Syntax aware editor for _javascript_, HTML, and CSS.
    Widget packager (even generates the Info.plist for you)
    Dashboard emulator debugging environment - supports the widget properties/methods not found in Safari, including preferences, launchURL/Application, and system.
    Can explicitly test all the various Widget handlers (blur, focus, etc...)
    Emulator even has a "gray over desktop" appearance so you can verify that your shadows look good!
    Emulator supports native plug-ins and font loading
    Caps-lock will highlight here your apple-dashboard-region is
    _javascript_ console to show you your errors.
    DOM inspector for your widget (showing node properties, CSS styles, various other attributes)
    Easy testing of localizations - just select what localization you want to test from a popup (so you can see all the localizations for Hello Welt) and go
    Will create a new project from an existing widget, grabbing all the sources/images/etc.. and adding them to your project
    Builds & runs all example widgets
    

This is a beta (and there's still some bugs), but is fairly stable and usable, and I need feedback/testing, so if you're interested:
