User-agent: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0 (Windows/20041206)
While I agree with Ed's sentiments in principle, in practise some of us
would like to be able to deliver cross-platform Java/RCP apps. If we
say "who cares about WORA" then deployment across multiple platforms
becomes more difficult.
It might be useful to split the project into a WORA-type core, with
platform-specific features in seperate plugins. That way if people want
a WORA feature like Recycle Bin support they can just bring in all of
the WORA things and not have cross-platform deployment problems.
If they want to do something Win32-specific, they can bring in the
Win32-specific plugin and definitely know that they are going to have
cross-platform deployment difficulties because of it.
