Re: [platform-swt-dev] SWT page, current version

Grant_Gayed@xxxxxxx (Grant Gayed) — Mon, 07 May 2012 14:46:33 GMT

Thanks for the reminder, the page has been updated. It now points at the 4.2M7 SWT jars, which are identical to the 3.8M7 SWT jars, but with additional CTabFolder API.

SWT milestones/releases always align with those of Eclipse, so if you subscribe to a list like eclipse-dev or platform-releng-dev then you'll see the announcements. I'm not aware of another consistent notification (eg.- RSS feed) that originates here.

Hi,

Just so you know, "http://www.eclipse.org/swt/" still points to SWT 3.8M5.

Many users (including me) go check that page to know if an updated version of SWT is available. Actually, is there a better way (RSS feed, etc.)?

Cheers,
-Christopher

[platform-swt-dev] Project meta data is out of date for eclipse.platform.swt

emo@xxxxxxx (portal on behalf of emo) — Sat, 05 May 2012 04:00:19 GMT

Silenio,
Projects are required to keep meta data up to date using the MyFoundation
Portal (http://portal.eclipse.org/).  The following problems were found
with this project's meta-data:

* Project home page (projecturl = http://www.eclipse.org/swt) is not using
an Eclipse theme.
You should think about updating to the Nova
theme(http://wiki.eclipse.org/Nova)

[platform-swt-dev] New SWT branches

Silenio_Quarti@xxxxxxx (Silenio Quarti) — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 20:11:09 GMT

SWT development has been split into two branches:

master - 4.2 development
R3_8_maintenance - 3.8 development

Note that until the end of Juno, commits have to be done in both branches. You can use "git cherry-pick" to pull commits from master into R3_8_maintenance. It is the same process used to do back ports.

If for some reason it is installed but is not found (used to be more common with older mozilla and swt releases) then you can explicitly point at it as described in http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#mozillaplugins .

Hi,

Are you setting the MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable before launching your eclipse/app? If so then please log a report with SWT at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Platform&component=SWT .

Thanks,
Grant

Re: [platform-swt-dev] Styled text widget and TextStyle redundancy question

Thank you for the explanation. I see that the problem is with Eclipse, since they apparently do not use those interfaces.

There is API in StyledText that let you reuse instances of StyleRange by passing the ranges as a separate parameter. See

org.eclipse.swt.custom.StyledText.setStyleRanges(int, int, int[], StyleRange[])
org.eclipse.swt.custom.StyledText.setStyleRanges(int[], StyleRange[])
org.eclipse.swt.custom.StyledText.getRanges()
org.eclipse.swt.custom.StyledText.getStyleRanges(boolean)

Also, StyleRanges are compacted internally if older APIs are used. Take a look at StyledTextRenderer.COMPACT_STYLES.

Subject: [platform-swt-dev] Styled text widget and TextStyle redundancy question

Sent by: platform-swt-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx

The TextStyle object contains the information (12 fields) necessary to control the display format of data fields within a StyledText widget. Because the StyleRange object extends the TextStyle object rather than containing a reference, and because a separate StyleRange object is required for each StyledText data field, it seems to me that there is potentially a large amount of unnecessary redundancy. For example, consider a large, fully tokenized and syntax colored file using a standard Eclipse editor and presentation manager. There could be many thousand redundant TextStyle fields. Wouldn't it be better if TextStyle information were shared? Is this analysis correct? Does anyone else see this as a performance and efficiency problem which should be addressed?
