Re: [platform-swt-dev] Mac OS X: Good News/Bad News
|
I'd have to second that. Apart from the silly problem I've been
experiencing with my mouse driver interfering with Eclipse, it is a
stable and definitely developer-class port. I use it every day.
Although it would be nice to be dressed up and looking as polished as
the Windows build (for example), I would rather the wonderful people
doing the OS X port got it right and took a little longer.
I can't express how happy I am to see software of this calibre on the
Mac platform, well done all!!
Cheers

Yeah! Glad to hear it. Looking forward to more improvements in the OS X
port. I now use this as my primary dev machine so the better my tools
the
easier it is for me to work ;-).

Subject: [platform-swt-dev] Mac OS X: Good News/Bad News
As many of you know, the Mac OS X version of Eclipse stopped being
posted
Oct 12. This was so that we could make massive changes without
impacting
our users. These changes include improved clipping/z-order, Core
Graphics,
more native widgets like Table and Tree, and general
robustness/completeness
improvements. Our goal was to have the Mac OS X builds back on line
by
M3.
We failed. However, we realise that users are keen to get the latest
updates from Eclipse and the SWT component is only one part of that.
Therefore, we have reverted the Mac OS X SWT component to its M1
state +
patches and made this available for download (and in HEAD) along with
the
latest Eclipse components.
Sorry to disappoint those who were looking for huge improvements in
SWT.
We
are proceeding full tilt with our work in a side stream (probably
what we
should have done from the beginning) and we will release the new code
as
soon as it is ready (really!). Rest assured the Mac OS X port is
still
one
of the most important items for Eclipse.
