RE: [platform-swt-dev] Eclipse M9 and CTabFolder setBackground

["Andreas Martin" <a.martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your quick answers. When the final version 3.0 comes out, will
the api be stable for the future? I use SWT to write my diploma thesis and I
hope I don't have to change much of my source code every time a new version
comes out.
