Thanks for the feedback Phil.
 I should have annotated this issues in the picture.  Here are
my comments.

1) On the treeview, will all
the elements be automatically expanded as 
shown in the screenshot?
  <LS>
   Yes.  I
think we should set the height of the tree listbox so that it fits the
three default styles (SWT, Swing, and AWT) without scrolling.
   Ideally we would
want to expand all by default.  This would work fine with the 3 default
styles (since it's a small set).  However, it the set is augmented
with other styles, this would result in a large tree that would force a
scroll bar by default.  Since we want to avoid scrolling as much as
possible, I would recommend expanding by default the first style in the
list (SWT) and collapsing the rest. 
  </LS>

2) If the list size is larger than the treeview, a vertical scrollbar 
will be appended to the right side of the treeview?
  <LS>
    Yes.  I
think we want to minimize the likelihood of a scroll bars since it will
eat into the available width.
  </LS>
      
3) Will there be, or does there need to be, further nesting in the tree
view, other than the single level we have now?
(ie we have SWT->Composite, will there be SWT->FOO->BAR->Control)
   <LS>
   My assumption
was that there wouldn't be additional nesting.  I set up the width
to accommodate just one level.  Further levels would lead to a horizontal
scrollbar (which I think want to avoid)
   </LS>

4) How will we control the extent of horizontal dimension of the 
treeview? (Add a horizontal scrollbar or limits size of entries)?
    <LS>
  If possible, I wouldn't
display the horizontal bar until the width of the entries force scrolling.
 We should try to set the width of the treelist box so that there
is no horizontal scrolling with the default set of styles (with some room
for string expansion in translation).
   </LS>

Very nicely done!

Some minor questions:

1) On the treeview, will all the elements be automatically expanded as
shown in the screenshot?
2) If the list size is larger than the treeview, a vertical scrollbar 
will be appended to the right side of the treeview?
3) Will there be, or does there need to be, further nesting in the tree
view, other than the the single level we have now?
(ie we have SWT->Composite, will there be SWT->FOO->BAR->Control)
4) How will we control the extent of horizontal dimension of the 
treeview? (Add a horizontal scrollbar or limits size of entries)?

Regards

Phil
