[gef-dev] Draw2D Dependency
|
Currently, Draw2D (the plug-in) does not require the runtime, however,
GEF (the feature) does. Since Draw2D is only available through this
feature, it has been pointed out [1] that we should *not* assume that
future released of Draw2D will work without the runtime.

Does anyone think it is likely that future versions of Draw2D will
require the runtime? Randy pointed out [2] that something as simple as
translating our exceptions could introduce a dependency, but SWT must
get away with this somehow. The reason I ask is because I think Draw2D
can be to SWT what Java2D is to AWT. That is, someone should be able to
come along and get Draw2D and SWT and build an application.

Randy and Anthony, you obviously have a lot more experience with this
than I do, but I thought I would toss this out there and see what you
guys think.
Cheers,
ian
