This is a clean-room implementation modeled after the JGoodies
FormLayout API--there are no licensing issues. If I remember properly
I think there are even a couple places where I deviated from JGoodies
API to make it more SWT centric.

Regarding the code itself - is there
any IP issues related to the original JGoodies code? How does this
relate to that? How is JGoodies licensed?

Chris,
I can commit to supporting the code on an off-time basis. However
there will be periods (sometimes weeks at a time) when I'm unavailable.
If you're comfortable with this then I'd be happy to join the Nebula
project and personally support this contribution.

Hi Matthew,
I appreciate your contribution but I'm a little concerned as well. The
Nebula project is made up of committers who all have other jobs and
responsibilities
and just contribute in their off-time. Without a committment from
your side for support and maintenance, I don't know what use it is to
have
FormLayout in Nebula.
Is there someone else in the community who would be willing to take it
up? Someone who is prepared to answer questions on the newsgroup,
manage bugzilla issues, etc? Having found my own free time dwindle
and not finding the necessary time to spend on my own components - I
know
this can be difficult.
regards,
-Chris
I'm contributing my JGoodies style FormLayout class to the Nebula
project,
under the Eclipse Public License. I am a committer on Platform UI
so an IP review shouldn't be necessary. Though it might be a good
idea to check with your PMC first, just in case.
Due to my work schedule and current level of involvement in DataBinding
I cannot commit to supporting this code long term. I will be happy
to help whoever wants to take this on to get started and explain
anything
that needs explaining.
Note that at the time I originally wrote this code, I was brand new to
SWT and wrote this as an exercise to familiarize myself with it. You
may experience moments of sudden, sharp pain to your forehead before
the
initial review is over. I'm just saying.
With that out of the way, enjoy, and please don't hesitate to ask me
questions.
You can write me directly, through nebula-dev or CC me to a
bugzilla--whatever
you prefer.

Hi Matthew
I used a port of the jgoodies formlayout to swt in my last project and
was very pleased of it's power and easyness. Is the code you want to
contribute the version that might found at
http://ffxml.net/swtforms.html
?

Hi Matthew,
Where could I obtain the code? I'd like to see how much work is
involved to determine if I can spend time on it.

Hello all,
We discussed a port of the JGoodies FormLayout to
SWT on the
newsgroup a
week or so ago. I've looked over my code--which
was written
when I was
very new to SWT--and it's a little embarrassing.
It works but
it has
some problems, notably that I still don't know how
layout
caching is
supposed to work.
I'm happy to contribute the code as is and help to
improve and
polish
it. However with my involvement in DataBinding,
I won't have
enough
time to support it on my own. I'd like to know
beforehand
that there
are others willing to help maintain it.
Matthew
