Re: [nebula-dev] Status of Grid

[Christopher J Gross <chris.gross@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Chris,

Re 1.) I will release a 1.0 version
of the Grid to coincide with Eclipse 3.3.  In other words, sometime
this summer.

Re 2.) The Grid is developed against
3.3 and that is its official supported SWT version.  That said, I
don't think it utilizes anything specific to 3.3 and could probably be
used with 3.2.

Regards,
-Chris

The Grid-Control is fully compatible with 3.2 and 3.3 as far as I know.

With 3.3M6 Nebula will release a GridViewer based upon the new JFace-API
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=146945), so if you'd like
to use GridViewer you need to wait for M6. The Grid-Widget code is not
affected by all this :-)
