Re: [platform-swt-dev] SWT and Windows Phone 7

First sorry for the delay. Last week
was EclipseCon and we got a little behind here.

The WPF port of SWT is the most appropriate
alternative, if the Win CE API is not available in the Windows Phone 7
SDK.  What is available in the SDK? Is it the complete WPF toolkit
or a subset (Siverlight)? Currently the SWT port only runs on WPF, not
Siverlight. I am actually wondering if the phone has a Java VM, since it
does not support the win32 API.

The port has not been given much attention
up to now because it did not provide anything (at least in the Desktop
space) that the win32 port did not.  I would love to see the WPF port
getting completed. Unfortunately we do not have the resources to drive
the port ourselves. But I am sure we could help/consult any one from the
eclipse community if they decide to finishing up the port.

Microsoft recently confirmed at MIX conference
that Windows Phone 7 will only support .NET API and Silverlight for third-party
apps. However, SWT presently supports Windows CE, both Pocket PC and Windows
Mobile, using the native Win CE API. This raises the question: Will SWT
be supported for Windows Phone 7? Would the approach being used to support
SWT for .NET-based WPF be feasible? or is Windows Mobile 6.5 the end of
the line for SWT (and everything else Eclipse and Java, for that matter)
on Windows phones and devices?_______________________________________________
