This serves a number of purposes for me though: * A big regression test suite for MCS. * A big regression test suite for Mono. * A chance to fine tune mono to run it at a decent speed. * The change to run Eclipse on a full open source platform Finally: * Provide feedback to Microsoft about their JUMP product. * Convince Microsoft to open source JUMP ;-) Since Eclipse has its own toolkit, doing this is a lot easier than doing a Swing based application.
For me, the most interesting thing from all this would be porting SWT to C#.
Then it would be cooler yet to make Glade optionally use SWT, but then I am dreaming too much.
