Re: [platform-swt-dev] eclipse snippets webpage

Just say "open in new window"
when you have the "developer resources" link targetted, then
copy down the link in the address field of the new browser. To make things
easier, it's: 
    http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-swt-home/dev.html

When I need to go the eclipse snipped webpage -- you know, the page with:

SWT Component Development Resources
  Index
SWT FAQ
...
Snippets
Snippets for Pocket PC
...

I need to click at least 10 times from the home page, and remember the
way
to get there. Ok. But what's even worse, I can't put the page in my
favourites, because all these web pages have the same Url:
http://www.eclipse.org/platform/index.html!!! So, I'm back to clicking
one
million times to get to the snippets; if I didn't forget how to get there,
in the meanwhile. By the way, the website looks really nice, but the
subdivisions and menus are really useless. You won't find the snippets
from
looking at the menus, because you need to click a good number of vague
links
to get there:

(menu) projects--> (halfway the page) the eclipse project --> (halfway
the
page) platform --> (halfway the page) subproject SWT --> (somewhere
in the
middle of a sentence) Development Resources --> (scroll to the very
bottom
of a long page) Snippets.

Giving each page a distinct URL would tremendously improve the website's
usability; apart from reviewing this strange website organization and take
out some of the circular thinking.
