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

[Kevin McGuire <Kevin_McGuire@xxxxxxxxxx>]

EMF for the declarative UI makes sense.
 Not sure if I see its as needed for the CSS portion since we're likely
to get a CSS framework already cooked and our only job then is to map to
SWT calls.  As I recall, that's what Matt's EclipseCon presentation
did.  But in any case this is a good discussion to have in the call.

Kevin
