Hi,
I am very sorry to hear this Morten and thank you for this great piece of
software supporting me during my phd studies.
Although I am motivated and already tried to contribute to this project my
time schedule does not allow me to do so on a regular basis. But I still
have hope :-)
If I may contribute to the arising rewrite idea I would support the JavaFX
path. The OSGi plugin concept can be used with JavaFX too. There are some
approaches to combine the Eclipse RCP with the JavaFX UI but those are imho
still too experimental.
Thanks.
Jan
Best regards,
Jan Kubovy
