RAP 1.2 M2 - New and Noteworthy
Here are some of the more noteworthy things that are available in the milestone build M2 (October 8, 2008) which is now available for download.
This list shows all bugs that were fixed during this milestone.
RWT
| JavaScript Compression |
The new implementation of Javascript compression is now available. It
is enabled by default, when you use the "Standard" client-side
library variant.
org.eclipse.rwt.clientLibraryVariant
to DEBUG for the VM that is being launched.
The total size of the index page was reduced by more than 20%. For more information please also read the comments on this bug. | |
| Cursor Support |
The Control cursor support is now available. It is fully
implemented in the following widgets:
To obtain an instance of org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Cursor,
you should use code like this:
Cursor cursor = Graphics.getCursor( SWT.CURSOR_CROSS );
As with all resources in RWT, the Cursor instances are
shared among sessions. That's why, there is no Cursor#dispose()
method available.

| Scale Widget |
Now there exists a Scale widget that works much the
same as in SWT.
| |
| DateTime Widget |
The long awaited DateTime widget is now available. Using
the style flags SWT.DATE, SWT.TIME,
SWT.CALENDAR and SWT.SHORT, SWT.MEDIUM,
SWT.LONG you can switch the widget mode. Additionally
the DateTime widget goes by the locale from
RWT#getLocale() to display the day and month names in
your preferred language.

| ExpandBar Widget |
RWT provides an ExpandBar control. It can be used to
represent a category or group of elements.
You may have a look at the org.eclipse.rap.demo.controls.ExpandBarTab
class in the demo plug-in to see how to use it.

| MessageBox |
With a standard SWT MessageBox you can display a message
dialog without using JFace.
