Chris,
I can commit to supporting the code on an off-time basis. However
there will be periods (sometimes weeks at a time) when I'm
unavailable. If you're comfortable with this then I'd be happy to join
the Nebula project and personally support this contribution.

Hi Matthew,
I appreciate your contribution but
I'm
a little concerned as well. The Nebula project is made up of
committers
who all have other jobs and responsibilities and just contribute in
their
off-time. Without a committment from your side for support and
maintenance,
I don't know what use it is to have FormLayout in Nebula.
Is there someone else in the
community
who would be willing to take it up? Someone who is prepared to answer
questions on the newsgroup, manage bugzilla issues, etc? Having found
my own free time dwindle and not finding the necessary time to spend on
my own components - I know this can be difficult.
regards,
-Chris
I'm contributing my JGoodies style FormLayout class to
the Nebula project, under the Eclipse Public License. I am a committer
on Platform UI so an IP review shouldn't be necessary. Though it
might be a good idea to check with your PMC first, just in case.
Due to my work schedule and current level of involvement in DataBinding
I cannot commit to supporting this code long term. I will be happy
to help whoever wants to take this on to get started and explain
anything
that needs explaining.
Note that at the time I originally wrote this code, I was brand new to
SWT and wrote this as an exercise to familiarize myself with it.
You may experience moments of sudden, sharp pain to your forehead
before
the initial review is over. I'm just saying.
With that out of the way, enjoy, and please don't hesitate to ask me
questions.
You can write me directly, through nebula-dev or CC me to a
bugzilla--whatever
you prefer.

Hi Matthew
I used a port of the jgoodies formlayout to swt in my last project and
was very pleased of it's power and easyness. Is the code you want to
contribute the version that might found at
http://ffxml.net/swtforms.html
?

Hi Matthew,
Where could I obtain the code? I'd like to see how much work is
involved to determine if I can spend time on it.

Hello all,
We discussed a port of the JGoodies FormLayout
to SWT on the
newsgroup a
week or so ago. I've looked over my code--which
was written
when I was
very new to SWT--and it's a little embarrassing.
It works but
it has
some problems, notably that I still don't know
how layout
caching is
supposed to work.
I'm happy to contribute the code as is and
help to improve and
polish
it. However with my involvement in DataBinding,
I won't have
enough
time to support it on my own. I'd like
to know beforehand
that there
are others willing to help maintain it.
Matthew
