Script / Rule Generation with visual programming editor

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1. Feature Description
The creation of scripts and rules in openhab is far from ideal. It takes quite 
some time and some java insight to create something usefull. Therefore I would 
like to suggest the usage of something like blockly 
(https://code.google.com/p/blockly/). I know that having IDE support is alredy 
a nice thing to have, but I think that things could be even easier! It's not 
trivial, but I think that it can be done. Blockly has no external dependency 
and runs completely inside a browser on the client side. The resulting code can 
then be saved where it's needed.

2. Example Use Case
Max wants to create a rule that turns a light on at 18:00. He just takes a 
block that uses the time as condition and then he selects the proper device 
from a list. The source for his new rule is generated on the fly and he just 
needs to press the "save this rule as..." button for his new rule to take 
effect.
