[ice-dev] Test footage of Eclipse (Neon M4 + ICE) running in a browser

Everyone,

Here's some test footage of Eclipse (Neon M4 + ICE plugins) running in Firefox with Broadway that will form the basis of my blog video. There is no audio.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnR3icT1CWk

This was done with Fedora 23 using KDE and Broadway. The results of my tests were the same in GNOME and KDE, so I just filmed it in KDE. I couldn't do any additional tests in Wayland instead of Broadway because neither of my laptops will run it at the moment.

Notable bugs in the video:
*Clicking on SWT-rendered pieces is offset by ~1cm.
*Long-running operations hang the UI (not shown because they hang...).
*Clicking to expand items in the project explorer kills Eclipse.
*Almost all edges are incorrectly drawn on dialogs.
*Some lists require resizing the view screen to refresh the content.

Please let me know what you think. In particular, if there are things that you believe are missing, then I would like to know about them so that I can try to shoot them and get them in the video.

I think this is really useful footage and it will illustrate what we need from the community very well. There is about 14min of footage, which I can cut up into shorter segments illustrating individual bugs and dub audio over to explain what is happening. My script for the video is:
*Short intro to the video
*Presentation of bugs 1-by-1
*Information on how people can help or contact us

Eric said he would put together an article for the Red Hat blog. I'll also put together a short article for my own blog that contains some links and other things so that Eclipse folks can reproduce the work.
