This is a clean-room implementation modeled after the JGoodies
FormLayout API--there are no licensing issues. If I remember properly I
think there are even a couple places where I deviated from JGoodies API
to make it more SWT centric.

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?

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

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
