Re: [dsdp-ercp-dev] (e)SWT on maemo

[Mark Rogalski <rogalski@xxxxxxxxxx>]

eSWT is a pure subset of SWT, so there
is no API benefit to running eSWT instead of SWT (except that eSWT implementors
are targeting devices and therefore concentrate on keeping eSWT small and
very efficient.) SWT will work with eRCP as long as it sticks to using
Foundation 1.1 API internally.
However, the eRCP project also includes
eSWT Mobile Extensions. These are new widgets (and some other function)
that is mostly for the benefit of mobile devices. There are things that
desktop SWT lacks in this regard. For instance, support for soft keys,
virtual keyboards, device configuration changes, etc. It would be good
to have this package supported on all devices that can run eSWT or SWT.

Hi,

we are featuring a project called Jalimo, which has the goal to provide
a complete free Java stack for mobile and embedded linux devices.
Currently our main targets are maemo and openmoko. See [1] for further
details.

For the GUI solution we use SWT at the moment (among others) we will
investigate more in this direction, especially to get a better desktop
integration, in the near future.

Since our target devices are powerful, and we are trying to align the
platform capabilities on the desktop, a full SWT seems to fit very well
on this. Recently I found a blog post from Gorkem [2], who has started
an eSWT/eRCP implementation. I never worked with the *e* variant. What
would be the benefits from that? Would it be possible so run the eRCP
libs together with an full blown SWT?

Regards,
  Sebastian
