Description Gorkem Ercan CLA 2008-11-11 07:59:11 EST 
I would like to propose SWT's Link[1] as a new widget in eRCP 1.3 release. In eSWT we have a similar mobile extension called HyperLink. However, the result of Hyperlink activation is always fixed and it does not allow the applications to get selection events to perform their own actions. 

What I would like to propose is to get the Link API from SWT and change the Hyperlink specification so that it inherits Link instead of Control.

+1 
This is a very natural extension. I would like to proceed with it.
Comment 2 Mark Rogalski CLA 2009-01-07 10:27:36 EST 
+1. I would like to ensure that current HyperLink users are not broken by this change though.

Specification is updated to include Link and HyperLink now inherits Link.
