To access the XUI editor and begin using the widgets, you must first create an XUI file.
XUI file is a Rich Internet Application (RIA) framework for building applications in Java and XML. XUI only supports Dojo widget sets. XUI files are channel-neutral, which means that they can be converted into channel-specific UI files that comply with the technologies of different channels.
