Uff, what a bad timing.. I am sorry. :-/

What do you mean by "merging of types" ? Anyways.. I am very interested
to look at the new uDig styler dialogs. The upcoming release will
contain them?

Mmm... one couldn't pass the GT Objects like FeatureStores. So AS would
theoretically have to create a second connection to a WFS ... Not nice...

ascore (= AtlasStyler Core) is available as a stand-alone maven artifact
that doesn't depend on any Swing.

I would say that 75% of AS work is the Swing-GUI. So sadly I see no time
or sense to rewrite the GUI in SWT. I hoped it would be possible to
reuse the GUI directly somehow and make a plugin in just two days of
work ;-)

I will keep thinking...

Greetings,
Steve
