Hi, I gave a talk last week at Jax presenting EMF-Databinding [1]. The thing I'm writing here is because the small sample application I used to present the main Databinding concepts is build using e4.
Beside demonstrating the "boring" thing to use EMF-Databinding together with SWT/JFace I also added an example on how to use it with Swing and to make an e4 application possible I had to author a minimum swing renderer implementation (nothing more than a proof of concept). You can see a screenshot of it on my blog [2]. You might ask why I'm investing time into a Swing Rendering proof of concept and well I don't want to start a flame war here but from my personal experience talking to people at conferences (even EclipseCon) and most important customers. More and more people get unhappy with the inflexibility of SWT to write nice looking UIs. Even though we made good progress on bringing CSS into the game I'm seeing us loosing more and more ground in this area which is a bit disappointing.
