| JFace dependancies [message #447745] |

Hello,
I would like to evolve my SWT application with using the Model- and
Viewer-Classes of JFace. Now, as far as I know in order to use JFace I need to
put runtime.jar and platform.jar on the classpath too. I do not understand why,
since the Model-Classes should work without it, or am I wrong?
Regards,
Ben

Thanks Chris, that bug report is exactly what I was talking about.
Too bad that activity froze some months ago :/

A few months ago I've implemented a few stubs that eliminated the
dependencies on runtime.jar, platform.jar and OSGI.jar without problems.
Let me know if you are interested...
