Project Overview:
The goal of the project is to build a cross-platform lightweight wrapper for the vSphere Web Client that allows packaging and distribution in a native desktop application format. It should utilize the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) or a similar technology and enable an alternative delivery mechanism for VMware’s existing and future web based projects.
CEF has been chosen as an appropriate technology because of its simplicity and strong native integration. The core of the framework is built on top of the open source Chromium project which powers the Google Chrome browser and the project itself will be developed in a native OS language like C++ and Objective C.
The target of the project is a working prototype of the vSphere Desktop Client application for Windows, Mac and potentially Linux. The result should offer a standard installation experience, simple OS integration like Start menu item and desktop icon. The produced vSphere Desktop Client can be distributed as a Fling project.
Goals:
- Research the available tools and their fit in the project scope
- Become acquainted with the vSphere Web Client application
