[news.eclipse.platform.swt] SWT and GUI classes in IBM Smalltalk

[oliver@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Oliver Plohmann)]

Hi there,

I once had a short look at SWT. The approach with using a shell and 
display object reminded me of the GUI framework in IBM's former VisualAge 
for Smalltalk system. My question is whether anybody knows whether both 
frameworks have common roots. If so would be a help for me to qualify for 
an eclipse RCP project which would be that cool to work on ... ;-).
