Hmm. Ok. I'll leave it up to the Eclipse IP folks to make any determination on that. You're probably ok but they'll need to sign-off. I'll go ahead and start a committer vote. Once you are a committer, we will have to go through the Eclipse IP process for your contribution.

If I remember properly I think there are even a couple places where I deviated from JGoodies API to make it more SWT centric.

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 From: Matthew Hall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Nebula Dev <[email protected]> Date: 04/30/2008 10:54 AM Subject: 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. Matthew Christopher J Gross wrote: 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 From: Matthew Hall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Nebula Dev <[email protected]> Date: 04/30/2008 01:13 AM Subject: 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.

Is the code you want to contribute the version that might found at http://ffxml.net/swtforms.html ?

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.
