Re: [cdt-dev] Fwd: [epp-dev] Juno M5 packages

:). I agree with that sentiment. At this stage of the game, Eclipse
can really use a UI makeover to modernize it's look and feel. e4 came
with a great programming model that promises to make that easier, but
we truly lack UI design contributions to Eclipse. So, no, I don't
think there is any such work planned for 4.2, if at all at the moment.
