While flexibility built into the framework is a good thing, I am expecting that this effort will not undermine the existing platform look & feel that SWT/JFace default to or break backwards compatibility.
We have a lot of products built on this platform, backwards compatibility is effectively mandatory. (I also spent spent three years doing AJAX before I moved into RCP, I'd rather slit my wrists than try to lay out UI with CSS) -- Alex Fitzpatrick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Software Developer - Rational UML Modeling From: Kevin McGuire/Ottawa/[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: E4 developer list <[email protected]> Date: 2008-06-24 11:46 AM Subject: Re: [eclipse-incubator-e4-dev] CSS and declarative UI round up (Also on the XSWT front there's this bug: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=38109) In view of all the diverse material, and David and Tom's availability, I'd like to suggest the following split: Effort 1: CSS styling technologies Effort 2: Declarative UI composition (XSWT, XForms, etc.) With "Effort 1: CSS styling technologies" being the focus of this first get together. These really address different (though related) problems and there's tons to dig in for each. Plus David and Tom would then be available at a future date to talk XSWT. In particular I'd like us to get started on the CSS side because of the possible deep tie-in to SWT. Finally, more focus will give greater progress.

I'm always here to answer questions if there are any and taking part in discussion but I won't have time to prepare a presentation and/or code any e4 related stuff until mid of August where hopefully the project load goes back to a normal level or we find more talented co-workers (I read Ed is free :-). By the way Eric, I know you started modelling the workbench with EMF, is there any code/model around already?
