Hi Kirill, I looked at the messages on e4-dev and the conclusion (if any) seemed to be that the way forward would be to support animations on top of SWT (instead of built into it). Kai said he wanted to have a look at what you've done but apparently forgot to follow up.
I am a big fan of adding animations to e4 - can we try to revive this discussion? As with everything, the problem is going to be who can invest time in this, but then again, this seems like something that doesn't have to be delivered at a certain time so could live in the e4 incubator until it is ready to graduate. What I would love to see is a demo (built on, for example, the photo demo) that shows how animations at the level of the workbench can be used to improve the user experience. For example, using animation to smooth the transition when you switch from one view to another, or when you add or remove a view. Would you be interested in working on this in the context of e4? More specifically, would you be willing to contribute code you already have to the e4 project? I could imagine animation support being another e4 work area.

Thanks Kirill From: Mike Milinkovich <[email protected]> To: "WTP PMC communications (including coordination, announcements, and Group discussions)" <[email protected]> Cc: E4 Project developer mailing list <[email protected]> Sent: Fri, November 27, 2009 9:13:25 AM Subject: [e4-dev] RE: [wtp-pmc] Proposal for JSDT as a project> The phrase ?...the JavaScript debugging support currently being developed within the e4 Project...? caught my eye. IMHO, e4 needs a ?killer app? in the way that JDT was for the original Eclipse versions. I?ve hold little hope that the JDT project in its current form could fill that role.) Is a native e4 implementation (e.g. one not relying upon the 3.x compatibility platform) of these JavaScript tools within the scope of this project? Is aligning the release schedule of this project with e4 part of the plan? I would also note that this project lacks diversity. All of the committers are from IBM. Who else wants to step up to participate? Can we please (pretty please!) endeavour to create more diversity on this project before it is formally created? /mike From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Nitin Dahyabhai Sent: November-23-09 1:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [wtp-pmc] Proposal for JSDT as a project Hello, I'd like to propose a JavaScript Development Tools project, based largely on the JavaScript Development Tools component in Source Editing. The proposal is in the attached zip and details some of the reasoning behind the idea, and how the plan is to still have it be part of our 3.2 Release. I'd like the PMC's review and approval before forwarding it to the EMO.
