Re: [ve-dev] running sweet

We have a framework from Dave that does many things in regard to the
binding problem; it is a stand alone framework.
The sweet2 package, is not a framework. Joe has written it quickly so
that we can iterate on "the meaning of bindings", and be able to
"touch" it from the JFace component model.
The effort that we have on the table going forward, is leveraging
Dave's framework using the manner it is used in the examples in the
sweet2 package.
This is true as far as it goes.
But to clarify: I currently have more than 100 users of my framework.
I can't just stop supporting these folks.
Therefore, my framework isn't going to die going forward nor am I
retracting it from open-source. In the end, folks are going to have two
APIs to choose from if Gili's JFace binding initiative succeeds.
If people already have JFace code they need to adapt, the JFace
initiative will be the right one to use. If they're writing new code,
then they should look at both and see which makes the most sense for
them to use.
I obviously have to keep supporting my framework--with the kinds of
deployment numbers I have I don't have a choice. So it's a safe
choice. I suggest that you pick what works best for you.
Best regards,
Dave Orme
