Hi Philip,
Just to be clear, I'm suggesting porting PtPlot to from Swing to
SWT as a possible workaround. It would definitely take some
effort, but could pay off.

Hi Christopher,
maybe, it's a flag in Eclipse or Mac, which needs to be set.
Anyhow, most of my users are Windows centric, but who knows when
this changes.
Thanks also for your PtPlot idea. Unfortunately, this means, that
I would have to completely re-write my chart extensions. So, long
story short: I can't just move away from SWT.
I'll definitively ask people at the EclipseCon if they're facing
the same problems. Hopefully, there is a solution.
Best,
Philip

Hi Philip,
I don't believe that I've run in to these problems using SWT
under MacOS, but they look rather serious.
I am affected by this bug: RCP application menu not
shown when launched from Eclipse on OS X 10.9 (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=457921)
One possibility would be to port PtPlot, which is a
lightweight Swing-based Java plotter based on Xgraph. Edward
Lee and I wrote it in the early days of Java (first release
October 31, 1997) and use it as part of Ptolemy II today. Like
SWTChart, PtPlot is small and standalone, see https://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/java/ptplot/
I realize that this would be real work to do the port, and
that it would probably be faster/better to get SWTChart in to
Eclipse, but I wanted to put it out there.
Getting PtPlot through a full CQ would be fairly
straightforward, I would be happy to do so, first by getting
it through the more lightweight version and then by getting it
through the full version if there is interest in using it.

Hi
folks,
recently, I had another conversation with Yoshitaka, the
founder of SWTChart.
He's interested to join the Eclipse Foundation, but he has
limited resources at the moment. My opinion is, that we can't
force people to publish a proposal.
So I would recommend that we wait until he's ready to do the
step. He knows that I will support him to write the proposal
and to do the administrative work.
Anyhow, I will improve my SWTChart extensions and will stay in
contact with him. I'll keep you updated.
I've also recognized that SWT works fine under Windows and
Linux, but Mac OS
X makes problems. Have you encountered the same problems?
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=366471
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=458872
Maybe, other Eclipse projects are affected by this problem
too. I would be happy to discuss this issue at the upcoming
EclipseCon.
Best,
Philip
