I think thats about all we can expect - so as long as you are willing to 
support it then I think we're ok. 

Regarding the code itself - is there any IP issues related to the original 
JGoodies code?  How does this relate to that?  How is JGoodies licensed?

regards,
-Chris

Re: [nebula-dev] JGoodies FormLayout port


Chris,

I can commit to supporting the code on an off-time basis.  However there 
will be periods (sometimes weeks at a time) when I'm unavailable.  If 
you're comfortable with this then I'd be happy to join the Nebula project 
and personally support this contribution.

Hi Matthew, 

I appreciate your contribution but I'm a little concerned as well.  The 
Nebula project is made up of committers who all have other jobs and 
responsibilities and just contribute in their off-time.  Without a 
committment from your side for support and maintenance, I don't know what 
use it is to have FormLayout in Nebula.   

Is there someone else in the community who would be willing to take it up? 
 Someone who is prepared to answer questions on the newsgroup, manage 
bugzilla issues, etc?  Having found my own free time dwindle and not 
finding the necessary time to spend on my own components - I know this can 
be difficult. 

regards, 
-Chris

Re: [nebula-dev] JGoodies FormLayout port



I'm contributing my JGoodies style FormLayout class to the Nebula project, 
under the Eclipse Public License.  I am a committer on Platform UI so an 
IP review shouldn't be necessary.  Though it might be a good idea to check 
with your PMC first, just in case.

Due to my work schedule and current level of involvement in DataBinding I 
cannot commit to supporting this code long term.  I will be happy to help 
whoever wants to take this on to get started and explain anything that 
needs explaining.

Note that at the time I originally wrote this code, I was brand new to SWT 
and wrote this as an exercise to familiarize myself with it.  You may 
experience moments of sudden, sharp pain to your forehead before the 
initial review is over.  I'm just saying.

With that out of the way, enjoy, and please don't hesitate to ask me 
questions.  You can write me directly, through nebula-dev or CC me to a 
bugzilla--whatever you prefer.

Hi Matthew

I used a port of the jgoodies formlayout to swt in my last project and
was very pleased of it's power and easyness. Is the code you want to
contribute the version that might found at
http://ffxml.net/swtforms.html ?

Hi Matthew, 

Where could I obtain the code? I'd like to see how much work is
involved to determine if I can spend time on it.

       Hello all,
 
       We discussed a port of the JGoodies FormLayout to SWT on the
       newsgroup a
       week or so ago.  I've looked over my code--which was written
       when I was
       very new to SWT--and it's a little embarrassing.  It works but
       it has
       some problems, notably that I still don't know how layout
       caching is
       supposed to work.
 
       I'm happy to contribute the code as is and help to improve and
       polish
       it.  However with my involvement in DataBinding, I won't have
       enough
       time to support it on my own.  I'd like to know beforehand
       that there
       are others willing to help maintain it.
 
       Matthew
