[news.eclipse.platform] Re: [DataBinding] Real in RCP

> "(1) When you said Workbench handles this as of 3.3M5, does it mean that no 
Realm setting (as per your snippet) is required in 3.3M5?"

If running in Eclipse yes.  I'm not sure how that carries over to an RCP 
app.  But I assume that if you had to invoke createAndRunWorkbench 
previously then you'll still need your code.  But if just creating a View 
to run in Eclipse you shouldn't have to set the default Realm any longer.

> "(2) I imagine that DataBinding APIs are stable now, as of 3.3M5. If so, can 
we use the databinding packages that are bundled with 3.3M5 instead of CVS? 
Obviously minor fixes can go into CVS but I presume the core is already there 
in the bundled packages. Is that correct?"

We're still making some API changes.  BindSpec, IBindingListener, and 
BindingEvent are going[1] away[2].  We didn't want to rush this one into 
M5 so it's happening now.  I'd recommend sticking with M5 if you need 
stability in the coming weeks.  Hopefully very few API changes will be 
happening after that.
