Concerning the comment: "it'll require community involvement to get OS X
as a fully supported platform in VE."
How can I help?
First off, add yourself as a CC to the two bug reports listed in the
previous messages in the thread.
The most important code that is needed to get SWT supported on OS X is
the ability to capture the image of the widgets being rendered in the
remote vm window, and being able to do this while the window is
offscreen and/or obscured by other windows. This has required platform
specific code on Windows and GTK (including a native library in the case
of GTK) - so it's likely that the same will be necessary for OS X.
A very good place to start would be to create a Carbon app with a button
and a few other widgets. When the button is pressed, an snapshot of
the UI is taken, then another window is opened and the image is
displayed. Bonus points if it works properly if the first window is
captured properly if the window is partially dragged off screen so that
some of the other widgets are not showing at all.
It'd be great if you could tackle this problem,
