Dirk: As a user of CalendarCombo for the past 8 years, I appreciate the work that went into it. There was nothing like it back then. However, since the DateTime has caught up and CalendarCombo has cross-platform issues, I agree with letting it die.
Thanks again, Don From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Emil Crumhorn Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 4:52 AM To: Nebula Dev Subject: Re: [nebula-dev] Convert XViewer to use org.eclipse.swt.widgets.DateTime Hi Dirk, As the developer of CalendarCombo, I agree. I was looking at the DateTime widget and apart from look and feel the CalendarCombo has been phased out. I'm happy about that because over the years it developed issues that I could no longer fix (X didn't work on Linux, Y didn't work on Mac, etc). I've tried plenty of times to work around things but in the end it's never worked as some API just doesn't do what I want. Considering it's lived for more than 10 years I'd say it's had a very good run! Wim, maybe we should nuke it altogether? I think people should try to go for working cross-platform widgets than those that only work on Windows (nowadays). What do you think?

Compared to org.eclipse.swt.widgets.DateTime, there seems to be no more additional value by using CalendarCombo. I might be wrong, but the value that was added by CalendarCombo in the past doesn't exist anymore. Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

CalendarCombo is in the release project, it is created by Emil and you and Emil were looking after it [1]. I also understand that Emil was not too happy about CalendarCombo, exactly for the reasons you mention now. Should we demote CalendarCombo and put it in the Incubation project?

See note at the bottom of http://eclipse.org/nebula/widgets/calendarcombo/calendarcombo.php for more information. Planning on switching to the org.eclipse.swt.widgets.DateTime which supports everything but a clear button, which XViewer can implement itself.
