Re: [rap-dev] New RWT graphic widget GCCanvas

[Benjamin Muskalla <bmuskalla@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mirko,

Your examples are really nice - looking forward to see it in action :)

To commit things to the CVS repository you need to be a committer on the 
project. See 
http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/ip-process-in-cartoons.php 
for more information about the official contribution process of Eclipse.

In your case as contributor the first things to do:
* open a bug for the contribution against the RAP project
* attach your widget with some examples to the bug

At that point we can take a closer look at your contribution and think 
about the next steps.

Thanks for your effort!
  Benny
