Grant Gayed has been quietly fixing
things too when he has time. We've all been chipping away at it a
bit, but it's not part of the Eclipse 3.4 plan. In any case, please
go ahead and enter bug reports. If you are planning to look at a
larger chunk (like Alex is doing with Drag & Drop), post to this list
and let us know. Thanks for your interest!

[platform-swt-dev] Re: Is anyone actively
working on the SWT Cocoa
bindings?
Scott & Alex-
I'm delighted to hear that there is more interest and activity than I
fist detected, and that it sounds like it will be ramping up even
more! I will definitely start working more with it and, at the very
least, file some more bug reports.
