Re: [platform-swt-dev] 64-bit SWT 3.0?
|
You should add yourself to the following plan item:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=37721
As you probably know people have been contributing patches in the
following bug report:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=37775
We are in the process of evaluating the approach proposed in the patches
and comparing it with other approaches (e.g. treating 64-bit as a separate
port and not combining the 32 and 64-bit code streams).
I think the best way to contribute is to discuss these ideas in the plan
item and if you have additional patches, contribute them either in bug
report 37775 or enter a new bug report (if your approach is significantly
different) and reference the new bug report from the plan item bug report
(37721).

Subject
[platform-swt-dev] 64-bit SWT 3.0?
I am interested in getting Eclipse to run on a 64-bit environment (namely
Linux x86_64 on an Opteron based server). Blackdown released a JDK 1.4.2
for
this platform about a month ago and both IBM and Sun has declared that
they
will be releasing JDK's during this year.
I have seen the efforts made to make SWT 2.x 64-bit and I have used the
2.1
patch as a base for the work I have done so far on the 3.0M6 code.
However,
there are some amount of manual work involved in getting all the changes
in
there so I have some more hours of conversion to finish before I can get
it
to fly.
I see that 64 bits are on the 3.0 overall plan for SWT but it is not
indicated
to be in progress. Is there anyone there who have done it, doing it or
planning to do it?
I am willing to put in some work to help out with this. I believe I have
the
knowledge, the time and the hardware to be a useful resource. What is the
best way to start helping? Completing my own work and then post the
patches
or coordinate with someone?
