Re: [eclipse-incubator-e4-dev] CSS and declarative UI round up

[Kevin McGuire <Kevin_McGuire@xxxxxxxxxx>]

(Also on the XSWT front there's this
bug: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=38109)

In view of all the diverse material,
and David and Tom's availability, I'd like to suggest the following split:

Effort 1: CSS styling technologies 
Effort 2: Declarative UI composition
(XSWT, XForms, etc.)

With "Effort 1: CSS styling technologies"
being the focus of this first get together.

These really address different (though
related) problems and there's tons to dig in for each.  Plus David
and Tom would then be available at a future date to talk XSWT.  In
particular I'd like us to get started on the CSS side because of the possible
deep tie-in to SWT.  Finally, more focus will give greater progress.

Regards,
Kevin

I'm sorry but I'm filled with company projects before my holiday (mid of
July til the first days of August floating along in Norway) starts. I'm
always here to answer questions if there are any and taking part in 
discussion but I won't have time to prepare a presentation and/or code
any e4 related stuff until mid of August where hopefully the project 
load goes back to a normal level or we find more talented co-workers (I
read Ed is free :-).

By the way Eric, I know you started modelling the workbench with EMF, is
there any code/model around already?

Tom
