Re: [platform-ui-dev] welcome screen renderer component

["Nick Edgar" <Nick_Edgar@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Vladimir,

Sorry, just saw this note now.  The forms-style UI you see in the PDE 
editors is not the same code as used in the Welcome editor.  The PDE 
support is currently internal to PDE (no public API).

Regards,
Nick

Probably not only in WSDE. It looks like other components rendering
(buttons,textarea,dropdown menu) is also included in eclipse. If you turn
on PDE plugins view by Window->Show View->Other->PDE->Plug-ins and then
double-click any plugin.xml from plugin treeview you'll open that plugin
in an editor view.  Select various tabbed parts of the plugin editor to
see all the components mentioned above. It is very, very nice.

eclipse.tools newsgroup has been split, right? I posed the same question
in platform.swt group with no response yet. I'll try eclipse.platform.

Thanks,
Vladimir
