[news.eclipse.rt.riena] Re: Riena perspective switcher

[Elias Volanakis <eclipse-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ivica,

Bug 281433 has a snippet attached that demonstrates the basic approach 
for that menu bar -- https://bugs.eclipse.org/281433

The drawback is that we cannot react to left / right keyboard events as 
discussed in 279167, 281433.

I'm not the best person to answer your questions regarding update/p2. 
Maybe somebody else from the team can comment. I remember there is a 
Software Update/Provisioning topic in the project proposal.

Kind regards,
Elias.
