Dreamweaver translator extension for WebObjects

Before posting my question, I'd like to introduce myself. I'm a JSP and Servlet developer who is interested in using Webobjects on some of my larger, complex projects. I'm looking forward to learning more about WebObjects!

Now on to my question...

Does anyone use Dreamweaver MX 2004 with WebObjects?

I've found Webobjects builder, well, quite limited when it comes to developing complex HTML pages and displaying CSS styled content.

I've been digging thorough the Dreamweaver extension APIs in an effort to add visual rendering support for WebObjects components in layout mode. The APi includes using Javascript "Translators" which replaces original markup with stand-in content displayed only in the visual pane.

I've created an extremely simple proof-of-concept translator which provides textual representations of non-mixed content objects (empty elements such as images, etc., show up as [webobject]) and provides generic stand-ins for input elements and buttons if the WebObject's tag name matches a particular signature. There are still a few bugs with copy and paste operations, but it looks like it's a concept that can be refined to provide non-binding / visual support for WebObjects by parsing a components .wod file.

Is anyone working on something similar? Would anyone be interested in becoming involved in this project?

A curious mind would like to know...

Thanks,

- Scott
