Sadly, for now, only to generate code in the programming languages I must
use at work (Java, PHP) :(, and any scripting I must do to build the
application.

At least, I don't have to write ugly SWT code; instead I can do something
like:

        group(:buttonsGrp, [:SHADOW_OUT]) {
                composite {
                        gridlayout {
                                columnsequal true
                                marginh 0; ncolumns 2
                        }
                        
                        button(:saveBtn, [:PUSH,:FLAT]) {
                                image :saveImg
                                text res "save"
                                griddata { grabh; halign :FILL }
                        }
                        button(:editBtn, [:PUSH,:FLAT]) {
                                image :editImg
                                text res "button-edit"
                                griddata { grabh; halign :FILL }
                        }
                }
		...

Still it is a sad situation :-/.
