[platform-swt-dev] Version 0904 of SWT for MacOS X

[Andre Weinand <weinand@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

A new version of the SWT for MacOS X/Carbon plugin is available at 
the bottom of the SWT Developer resource page:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-swt-home/dev.html

Eclipse_2.0.dmg.gz contains a Carbon application and three 
Mac-specific plugins. You will have to add the standard Eclipse 2.0 
or 2.0.1 release to get a working Eclipse 2.0 for MacOS X.

Remember that the MacOS X of Eclipse 2.0 is still 'experimental' so 
be prepared to loose work... However, I'm using it for all my SWT 
development work on MacOS X, and it seems robust enough to get 'real 
work done'.

What's new in this release (since 0808):
- added a new wrapper script "SWT_JDK/bin/java (10.2 only!)" that supports
  workspace pathnames containing blanks (see section 'How to run a 
SWT application' in the ReadMe)
- Launch configuration support for MacOS X: you no longer have to setup a JRE
  for MacOS X manually
- fixed problems with SWT Text widget: initial contents and focus 
border is displayed correctly
- Help browser support: 'Help Contents' in the Help menu starts your 
default browser
- Eclipse no longer exits silently on first start: added -noupdate to arguments
- SWT applications no longer redefine the standard shortcuts cmd-H and cmd-Q
- the standard 'Quit' menu item is hooked to Eclipse's 'Exit' menu command
- fixed the problem with the ColorDialog not honoring the initial color
- fixed the keyboard focus problem with the standard dialogs 
(FileDialog, ColorDialog, etc.)
- fixed some (but not all) problems with non-aligned background patterns

Note:
- this drop contains the last version that supports both 10.1.5 and 10.2.
  The next drop will be 10.2 (Jaguar) only.
- this drop contains no code changes since the inofficial version 
0822. So if you already
  have 0822 and if you are running 10.2, only the new wrapper script 
and the updated Read Me
  is of interest for you.
