The cornerstone of NeXT development environment was Interface Builder, a model driven, MVC based, graphical UI designer. InterfaceBuilder这个模型驱动、基于MVC的图形用户界面设计器则堪称NeXT开发环境的基石。
Next, Eclipse associates menu items and other interface widgets to the project nature, and then the plug-in registers the batch XM process as a builder ( essentially a compiler ) with the project. 接下来,Eclipse将菜单项及其它界面窗口小部件(widget)关联到项目性质,然后插件将XM批处理注册为项目的构建器(本质上是编译器)。
