>
> 1) Required-Bundle should declare both SWT+RWT as optionnal and RAP
> Workbench+RCP Workbench as optionnal. For example:
>
> -------------------------------------------------
> Require-Bundle: org.eclipse.core.runtime,
> org.eclipse.swt;resolution:=optional,
> org.eclipse.ui.forms;resolution:=optional,
> org.eclipse.rap.rwt;resolution:=optional,
> org.eclipse.rap.ui.forms;resolution:=optional,
> org.eclipse.jface;resolution:=optional,
> org.eclipse.rap.jface;resolution:=optional
> -------------------------------------------------

> 2) RAP doesn't implement the whole methods od the SWT Widget. A good
> sample is mouse event tracking which is not supported with RAP.
> Almost Nebula widgets use mouse event tracking, so widgets cannot work
> in RAP context.

> An another example is TreeMaper which use drag/drop features and RAP

> * PShelf : I have done already this support but it is in another
> Plug-in. I think it should be better if it's the existing Nebula PShelf
> which supports RAP too (modify Required-Bundle+Use Java reflection to avoid
> compilation problem with RAP for mouse traking). If the author of this
> widget is OK (Tom I believe), I could create a patch for that.
> * DateChooserCombo : quicly tested in RAP, but very bugged.
