Re: [nebula-dev] Zest and Nebula

[Ian Bull <irbull@xxxxxxxxx>]

Since we are on the topic of Nebula structure, any ideas on how we 
should structure widgets built on Draw2D/GEF?  Currently Zest has 3 
widgets, 2 of which are stable (The Graph View and the Tree Graph 
View).  There is also a nested viewer, but we are still working on that 
(both the API and the actual implementation).   We also have another 
developer (Del Myers) who has resolved a bunch of Zest bugs 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&classification=Technology&product=Mylar&component=Zest&long_desc_type=allwordssubstr&long_desc=&bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&bug_file_loc=&status_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr&status_whiteboard=&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=&bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=CLOSED&emailassigned_to1=1&emailtype1=substring&email1=delmyers.cs%40gmail.com&emailtype2=substring&email2=&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&votes=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&cmdtype=doit&order=Reuse+same+sort+as+last+time&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0=
and he has expressed interest in contributing (and maintaining) a 
Sequence Chart Widget that he has been working on.

I don't know if it makes sense to keep the name Zest and use these for 
Draw2D/GEF widgets as a subcomponent of Nebula? 

Cheers,
Ian
