[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Reuse/Extending Mozilla.java and IE.java

Hi,

I want to extend the existing IE/Mozilla class because I want to add some other interfaces for both browsers.

But for doing this I figured out there is no other way than to copy/paste them in my projet and compile it my self which is really bad.

Because I have than some references to internal classes and also in the case of Mozilla I have dependencies via jni to native c code (Also IE but direct in IE.java itself). Some accesses are also discouraged so...

Is there no other way than to make a copy if I want to extend but reuse (yes I want to subclass) the existing code base?

I'm aware that I cannot expect any support from eclipse than but it still would be great to reuse as code as much as possible without creating dependencies on too many internal classes.

Regards,
Philip
