[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: swt on Mac/Intel
I'm inclined to agree with you regarding the carbon to cocoa transition. Consider me daunted and totally willing to let Apple take that one up :)

On the carbon on x86 front, I have built libswt-carbon-3138.jnilib, libswt-pi-carbon-3138.jnilib, and libswt-webkit-carbon-3138.jnilib on our intel-based mac. I'm going to try and see if I can get eclipse up and running on it this afternoon.

Guy from Apple told me at last EclipseCon they were looking to hire someone to do a cocoa port. I just sent him an email ping on the subject. I don't know either, but it would be wasted effort to start on it if Apple plans to do it. Besides, there were problems the last time a cocoa port was tried (by the person who did the original carbon port) that maybe can only be resolved by Apple.

I have no earthly idea if Apple is working on it.

Is there anything to do except recompiling and testing?

The carbon port, not the cocoa port, of course; that's a bfd. Are you sure Apple isn't working on the latter?

Hello,
I'm interested in doing this port, or at least using it if nothing else. Is anyone else interested in collaborating on it?

hello,

because swt for mac is developped on carbon and since apple decided to migrate to Intel processors, i am wondering if swt will be recompiled for Intel processors or ported to cocoa framework?

PPC -> Intel for cocoa applications or frameworks are quasi imediate
PPC -> Intel for carbon applications or frameworks are much longer...
