[platform-swt-dev] BIDI support in SWT

["Rodolfo M. Raya" <rodolfo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I would like to know the plans for implementing full support of BIDI locales.

Current Eclipse Project DRAFT 2,2 Plan states that support for right-to-left languages is a 2.1 deferred item. Will this be completed in 2.2?

Also, are there any plans to support BIDI locales in platforms other than Win32?

I must support users that write in Arabic and current version of StyledText (Integration Build 20030520) still exhibits severe problems that renders the widget unusable.

Any news regarding the above issues will be highly appreciated, as I must decide what to do: wait until SWT supports BIDI or rewrite our tools using another framework.

Thanks and regards,
Rodolfo
