Ah, it's not so bad, Mike. Really, after doing some serious looking, I
realize that some areas need more meat is all. And as you say, the feature
set is not yet complete, which is what I pretty much thought.
In fact, that's my feeling on SWT in general. It's just not quite soup yet.
It's like you're adding things at a great clip, with the intent to go back
and clean things up. As an example, the lack of setters and getters in
GridData as opposed to the consistent use of setters and getters in the
widget classes is a little confusing. One of the great things about Swing
is that the methods are remarkably consistent throughout the packages.
There seems to be a little less of that structure in the SWT classes,
especially some of the more advanced stuff (like the layouts).
Just my .02
