Hi Dimitar,
>The important thing, which I was unable to determine, is what is the recommended "official" approach to coding eclipse 4 UIs. More to the point, are there plans to have XWT engine out of incubator and inside Eclipse 4? I totally agree with you. Unfortunately, there is so much resistance of XWT solution in eclipse community, and even in e4 committers. Anyway, Soyatec will keep XWT up when it is possible. Please fill free to report bugs and request new features in eclipse bugzilla. Any suggestion and feedback are welcome.

As far as the tooling goes, its state really makes no difference to me. I am perfectly fine with using the eclipse/whichever XML editor to code the ui. To be honest, this is also my preferred way e.g. when working with android apps. Many other developers share this opinion, I guess. The important thing, which I was unable to determine, is what is the recommended "official" approach to coding eclipse 4 UIs. More to the point, are there plans to have XWT engine out of incubator and inside Eclipse 4? On a side note, Tom's pointers about XTend are very interesting. I will make sure to give this a try. However I don't believe this will catch on in the mainstream. People just do not have the time to learn a new language these days.

My questions: - Are these known issues or should I go forward and open bugs? - Are XWT designer / viewer known to not work and should I stick to editing the XML by hand when using XWT? Thank you!
