[news.eclipse.rt.riena] Re: RAP Support

[Christian Campo <christian.campo@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Interesting work you are doing. I did some testing myself to get Riena ridgets to work with RAP. The approach was more 
along the lines to get the snippets running with RAP. There are as you wrote things like Paintlisteners sometimes or 
KeyListener Events that are missing.

However we are more looking to get support for those tiny bits that are still missing in RAP itself. Once the snippets 
for the ridgets work, we will find a better and different way to do the Navigation. I image that can be visualized which 
much simpler SWT controls and then CSS in the browser could do the styling.

My intention was to start a wiki page once that Galileo train has reached its destination about the open topics, missing 
pieces, issues and then take it from there.

p.s. have you got any work examples, snippets or anything that you can share. would be interested to see how far you got.
