Hi Pivot is still showing normal early stage adoption i.e. a trickle of interest. These things tend to ramp in bursts, so my counsel would simply be to be patient.
I agree on the SWT issue - I don't think porting Pivot to SWT would improve adoption. SWT already has JFace, Nebula and various other additional widget libraries. On the other hand, Pivot is a great example of how good Swing could be if it was allowed to evolve :-) I do notice that we're getting various conversations along the lines of Newbie: "X is very easy to do with toolkit Y" Pivot-guru: "You could implement X on top of component C" Newbie: "That's too hard! Can't you just add it?" Pivot-guru: "Adding that feature doesn't really fit into our architecture" Which is reasonable, but maybe we should be implementing these features in some kind of extras package until we have a good enough idea of how to fit the features into the main codebase? -- Noel On 2010-02-23 00:14, Greg Brown wrote: > Though we have only gotten two responses on the SWT question, it seems as > though an SWT port may not be the best way to move Pivot forward.
