Re: [nebula-dev] Use of Grid widget

Scott,


I'm using some Nebula components, including Grid and CDateTime, for  a
"mission critical" product at a customer for more than 2 years now.

So far the components are working as expected, but we decided to
maintain our own copy of some Nebuala components (CDateTime, CDT, Grid)
to be able to extend the functionality or fix bugs.

We found that only the stock CDateTime (still) has two showstopper bugs:
- in some cases, a missing selection event
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=291289
- the databinding did not handle NULL values
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=177013


Grid is very stable and fast. What we needed to modfiy was:
- added new text truncation styles
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=333508
- add a dynamically computed footer row
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=333471


In my opinion, the bottom line is: Nebula components are generally great
and mature to use, but be prepared to work on them and don't expect your
or anybody else's changes to appear in stock Nebula soon.


Best regards,
-hannes
