Re: [nebula-dev] Re: [New Widget] AeroToolbar

Hi Lukasz,

One more note on this I'll also add it to bug report. We need to get rid
of the JNA-Dependency because we are not allowed have a LPGPL library as
a prerequisit only as a works with but it looks like this widget is
useless with having access to it.

So think we have 2 options:
a) Get help from SWT with Win32-only-SPI
b) Write our own JNI-Bride for the stuff you need

On the one hand side I'd prefer a) because then it would work with pre
3.6.0 but on the other hand we need to write an (maintain) the wrapper
for win32 and win64 (though this probably not a big task because we need
to compile/build the stuff once, check it into CVS and are done)
