In principle, I support the EXSWT extensions, however I think the syntax could be made more compact and more human-friendly while retaining its extensibility. I'd be happy to work with the community to achieve this goal and would then be able to support such a move 100%.
Serious health concerns in my immediate family have prevented me from using
much of my own time on Eclipse-related stuff lately, so please be understanding if I don't always respond immediately.
I suggest that we use the ve-dev list to coordinate the discussion.
Best regards,
Dave Orme

Hi: David Orme one of the historic lead for the VE project maintained a library called XSWT tighly related to visual editing. Tom Schindl (Jface committer) in agreement with David, forked that library and maintains it now as EXSWT. I would like us to consider invinting Tom to join VE and contribute EXSWT code to VE. Also we could possibly start working using Cathy's Groovy related contribution to create a visual EXSWT editor . Thoughts?
