Re: [platform-swt-dev] Next areas to look at?

Christopher,
If by region clip, you mean Control/Shell setRegion API, then it's done already.

Scott,
For now focusing on Open GL, bug fixing and polish is fine. We'll reorganize a bit once M4 has stabilized. There are a couple M3 and M4 items on the plan that didn't get finished as well. It would be nice to tie up those loose ends.
One area that needs attention and comes to mind immediately is our test suite. I tried running AllWidgetTests (in org.eclipse.swt.tests project) today and it didn't complete the test pass. I'm not sure what the issue is but it may be related to creating and disposing many Displays.
If you check out our tests project, you can run any of the tests in org.eclipse.swt.test.junit package by using the Run As/JUnit Test.
Eventually we'll need an AllCocoaTests suite like we have for Carbon, GTK and Motif.

Regarding embedding SWT in Swing -- that is going to be a big problem to
fix, as the current SWT Cocoa implementation currently requires its own
NSApplication subclass so it can get events.  We will need to rework it so
it doesn't need to replace or otherwise modify an installed NSApplication,
like the one in the AWT.

Finishing the bridge is an M5 task.  I hope we will make it in time for
that.

Kevin or Grant need to answer this.  I don't know what's happening there.
