The sample images shown on the examples page are pretty cool, but the description of the underlying technology seems even cooler. Layered canvases are a natural and very powerful extension to SWT.

Creating Database Web Applications with Eclipse
Integrating EMF and GMF Generated Editors
Defining Generics with UML Templates
You’ll (hopefully) notice a small bar in the top right corner of these articles.
I’ve been (slowly) working [...]
