Re: [platform-swt-dev] MacOS X port status?

["Mike Wilson/OTT/OTI" <Mike_Wilson@xxxxxxx>]

The biggest benefit of putting your code into eclipse.org is that it will be seen regularly by the SWT committers. This is a good way to get feedback quickly, which I suspect will be important, at least initially. The only problem with this is that, you can't put the code on eclipse.org without getting the port ok'ed by the PMC as was indicated a while back. This really does take a formal commitment by somebody to be the port lead.

Unrelated question: If I was going to go out and buy myself a Mac at home, what would be the cheapest one I could get that would be reasonable to work on the port?

Oh!  I quit working on it because I figured you would have it done by now.
I better get going again!  :-)

I would like to use Eclipse to do the port if possible.  One possibility is
to use the GTK port via an X server as you mentioned in another post.  I had
also considered resurrecting one of my old, dead Windows boxes to cross
compile.  

Failing that, we could always just do it the old fashioned way and use the
CVS command line client.

What are everyone's thoughts on where the code should be hosted?
Sourceforge.net and Eclipse.org are the two most obvious candidates, both
with strengths and weaknesses.  Thoughts...?
