[news.eclipse.tools] Re: GUI again

["Scott Stanchfield" <scott@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually I forgot to update that. I want to do AWT/Swing and SWT plugins at
the same time to make sure my model really works right.

I've got a bunch of folks where I work who could really use a good AWT/Swing
builder and could serve as good guinea pigs for me too...

Glad you liked the MJ comment ;)
