RE: [dsdp-ercp-dev] Workbench references org.eclipse.swt.dnd.Transfer

Hi.
I think we are hands full now with S60 implementation so dropping out
Series 80 support from 
eRCP 1.1 needs to be done. Better to have focus on one good release than
multiple "near there".

If somebody doesn't know Nokia Series 80 platform development is
discontinued. 
In future Communicator devices also use S60 platform (Nokia E90 device
is first Communicator
with S60).

Comments of course welcome.

Sure, if we provide a Series 80 package for 1.1.
