Is there support for the Custom Control set from within VE ? Are there
any plans on supporting them ? Or do I have to stick dummy label objects
in places where I'd want a TableTree ( for instance ), and then replace
the label within the code by hand ?
Also, are there any plans to add things like a "property editor" to VE,
like you find within RAD IDE's like Visual Studio ?

SWT Custom controls will be picked up as we get to them. Some you can
drop already, they just act as a black box in that we don't know there
is anything special about them and think they just inherit from
Composite. Because of this we may allow some things that we shouldn't,
like allowing to drop children controls on it. It all depends on the
control itself with what VE will do with it.
You can add property editors already. We never stopped you. What kind of
property editors are you talking about? We support out-of-the-box
property editors that follow the Java Bean specification and are on the
BeanInfo for a class.

Thanks for the speed response Rich. I mean in specific TableTree, etc. I
don't see them on the palette.
Also, would you happen to know where this library might be found, or
what package I have to install to get it ?

Where is this library supposed to be...I've downloaded and installed:
Eclipse 3.0
EMF
GEF
and VE
and it's not there.....

Marcelo,
You can drop a TableTree using the Choose Bean dialog. Because we don't
have beaninfo for this class, the style bits will not show up on the
property sheet. This list of SWT controls we're attempting to support
in this version is available here:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/indextools.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E /vep-home/WebContent/docs/v1.0.0/line-items/index.htm
(in addition, we've added Browser and SashForm in the lastest code in CVS)
org.eclipse.ui.part.ViewPart is in the org.eclipse.ui.workbench plugin.

The org.eclipse.ui.forms plugins requires org.eclipse.ui, which requires
org.eclipse.core.runtime
org.eclipse.help
org.eclipse.swt
org.eclipse.jface
org.eclipse.ui.workbench
So yeah, it looks like forms is meant to be used only in Eclipse or an
RCP environment.
