RE: [platform-swt-dev] eclipse snippets webpage

You're
right, of course. Well, at least I got it off my chest.

Note to all: The SWT team doesn't have any control over
the layout of Eclipse.org. I know this is being looked at already by others
here though, so if you want to make your voice heard, you should probably
speak out on the eclipse.tools mailing list.

eclipse snippets webpage |
Some of the most useful things are completely buried, like the
afore
mentioned SWT snippet page (which took me several times before I
memorized
the link path), as well as the various FAQs (project, SWT, etc.).
As far as
the project FAQ, I realize that it is linked in the
"Welcome to eclipse.org"
opening paragraph, but it gets lost in all the
text, and the first place I
look for FAQs in in the navigation
bar.
The frame thing not only causes (almost) every page to show as the
home
page, but if you open a link in a new window, sometimes you get the
nav bar
(downloads), and sometimes you don't (bugs).
