Re: [nebula-dev] Proposal to submit XViewer to Nebula project

[Jeremy Dowdall <jeremyd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Donald,

Thanks for the proposal - I've started to review the links you provided but still have a bit more to go.

As suggested in the discussion for your EclipseCon XViewer talk, an important part of bringing this into Nebula will be positioning it next to Grid in a way that users will understand the differences and benefits of the two.

Also, with XViewer being a viewer rather than a widget, it doesn't strictly fall into the scope of Nebula - this is not a negative, but is something that should be considered as it may indicate that Nebula needs to think about adding some non-widget categories to its structure (the viewers we currently have are in support of Nebula hosted custom widgets).

For a number of years, the OSEE project (http://www.eclipse.org/osee)
has developed and deployed the XViewer widget as part of it's
engineering environment solution.  Since this widget has applicability
beyond OSEE, we wanted to propose submitting it as part of the Nebula
project.

This would allow the Eclipse/SWT community to take advantage of it's
capabilities and also allow collaboration independent of OSEE.

XViewer information:
http://www.eclipse.org/osee/documentation/core/xviewer/xviewer.php

Code can be accessed at:
https://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/technology/org.eclipse.osee/trunk/org.ec
lipse.nebula.widgets.xviewer/

XViewer will be debuted at EclipseCon 2009:

The code was recently split out from the other OSEE source.  The
plugin name is named for where it was destined, not where is is
committed yet.  Let me know if this is ok for the proposal phase.
