[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Mac OS X [Leopard] Titlebar / toolbar lo

["Grant Gayed" <grant_gayed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Since there is a lot of work outstanding to make swt's Cocoa port more
usable/complete, this would likely not be a high-priority item since there
is a working alternative.

If  SWT was to surface this functionality then the eclipse workbench would
have to decide whether to change to use it or not.  It could depend on how
useable the title bar option was with large sets of tool items like eclipse
has.  Also, the current coolbar allows dragging/rearranging of groups of
items, which I assume the items-in-title bar case does not.
