Re: [ui-best-practices-working-group] Notifications

Two related bugs:

Investigation of porting the Mylyn notification framework to Platform UI.
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=229823

Implement native notifications in SWT.
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=497946

From the sounds of the initial discussion above, it sounds like everyone here likes the idea of native notifications.

For this reason, I'd argue that we should explore the SWT-only solution first and only fall back to the Mylyn approach if the SWT approach turns out to be impractical or impossible. If a full SWT solution is possible, the extra emulated widgets provided by Mylyn would be unnecessary.

Yes please. There are so many places where notifications can be used which don't depend on Mylyn.
