Hi,
to bring up the "SWT for KDE / Qt" subject again: the Qt toolkit
(foundation of KDE) is being relicensed as LGPL.
If they really do "want KDE to be ten times as big
<http://dot.kde.org/1231920504/>", I'd say one smart step would be to
contribute themselves a SWT port to Eclipse...
Well, at least things are moving in the right direction, however further
long it may take until Eclipse becomes what it could really be on
Linux :-)

implementation of SWT, since QT takes care of platform specific UIs on
all platforms it runs on :)

Yes, that would be of real help.

FYI, there is a bug open looking for guidance on dealing with non EPL
compliant licenses.
