[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Screen patches, still occuring?

Hi Robert,

Sorry if the next few sentences sound rude but I have to say this:

I only see you complaining that this is not right and that is not 
correct, spreading the world that one can't use SWT to write 
sophisticated applications, SWT can't be used for commerical 
applications, ... . You don't attach your information to bugs we mention 
you are only complaining, complaining, ... . I'm tired of this and my 
time is invested better to really help people who do their homework.

I'm not sure if you use the same bugzilla-id as you do for your mailing 
to the newsgroup but if that's true:
- you have filed 0 bugs
- you have CC'ed yourself to 0 bugs
- you have commented on 0 bugs

I've used this query: 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&long_desc_type=allwordssubstr&long_desc=&bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&bug_file_loc=&status_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr&status_whiteboard=&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=&emailreporter1=1&emailcc1=1&emaillongdesc1=1&emailtype1=substring&email1=oh1226%40hotmail.com&emailtype2=substring&email2=&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&votes=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&cmdtype=doit&order=Reuse+same+sort+as+last+time&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0=

Instead of investing your energy in complaining I'd suggest to sit down 
and provide a snippet (it has to be as complex as it has to be to show 
the problem so snippet might not be the right term) to reproduce or even 
better dive into the source and produce a patch to fix the bug!

If it's really pointless to write SWT-Applications then I'd suggest you 
search for another technology maybe Swing or QT-Jambi are better suited 
for you.

In the end I'd like to state the following: There are many people around 
here who try to provide a great framework to you to do your business 
(whether they are payed by a company for it - many employees even invest 
some of their sparetime - or doing the work in their sparetime). They 
all care about Eclipse. It is by the way not the responsibility of the 
Foundation to define which bug has to be fixed when this is the 
responsibility of the project teams.
