All,
Some of you know that JFace and VE have been working together on a new
data binding framework for Eclipse. In many cases, this will let you
replace pages of SWT event handlers with code like:
dataBinding.bind(textWidget, new Property(personBean, "name"), null);
There are two talks proposed about this new exciting framework at
EclipseCon:
http://canuck.gda.itesm.mx/eclipsezilla/show_bug.cgi?id=271
by myself, and
http://canuck.gda.itesm.mx/eclipsezilla/show_bug.cgi?id=89
by Boris Bokowski, a member of the JFace team
If you want to hear about this at EclipseCon, please vote today for one
or more of these submissions!
Best regards,
Dave Orme

By what definition of "ready" and "stabilized"?
Officially, API freeze is scheduled for February, or before EclipseCon.
(So please vote for Boris's and my talks.)
But if you want to know if the library is ready to use, I'm using it
right now on a large-scale project, so for me it's "ready". But it's
not stabilized yet as in we're still making occasional API changes.
Most of those changes are very insigificant now. We occasionally find
additions we need to make, and this can force a refactoring.
So the question is really "how big is your project?" and "how long-term
is your investment?" If you've got a large project or a long-term
investment, I wouldn't hesitate to get involved today. Growing with a
project is the best way to really learn it backwards and forwards. And
the Eclipse data binding framework will be the standard data binding
framework for SWT for years to come, so your investment will pay
dividends for years to come.
Best regards,
Dave Orme
