[news.eclipse.platform.swt] SWT/eclipse closer to native mac apps

[Laurent Mihalkovic <ljp_m@xxxxxxx>]

last sunday I started looking into getting SWT apps to feel more like 
native Mac OS apps. In the first version, I extended SWT with some 
quickly hacked JNA code as a proof of concept of supporting native Mac 
OS Toolbars. as it did work, I rewrote the code with native SWT changes 
(the many additions to OS.java were trivial thanks to JNIgen).

At the moment I am working on supporting split views (I want to move the 
perspective switcher to the Mac toolbar, as a square looking split 
view). as I was there, I wrote a simple custom presentation that makes 
eclipse look a lot closer to a native mac app. For that one, I have had 
to make a tiny change to workench ui. how do I go about getting some of 
this integrated into SWT and workbench?

very best.
