I intend to customize Openmeetings and am wondering if there is a GUI editor available for Openlaszlo.

There was apparently a plugin called IDE4Lazlo, mentioned both at IBM and Eclipse.org, but both links are dead. If the plugin has been definitely pulled, then is there a way to at least preview layouts?

The IDE4Laszlo is on old IBM project, which has not been maintained for a long time (since 2005/2006). Laszlo had been working on an Eclipse based plugin in 2008, which was unfortunately never released.

Spket works, but compared to IDEs like Flash Builder the functionality is relatively limited, since the IDE is not capable of scanning your application files to recognize new classes and methods.

An option is to use an XML editor with XSD support. Sebastian Wagner of OpenMeetings has created a build script which generates an XSD schema file from the OpenLaszlo classes and the custom classes in your application. The source code can be found here:

  • Something like [Serna](http://www.syntext.com/products/serna/features/xml-validation/) would work with the Laszlo XSD. – Paul Sweatte Jul 29 '12 at 16:11

There are two Eclipse IDE plugins that support OpenLaszlo, IDE4Laszlo and the more recent Spket.
