Nebula users,
(CC'ing the nebula newsgroup for more inputs on this)
There have been numerous requests from SWTBot users for adding support
for testing Nebula widgets. This happens to be one such case.
One of the things that prevents testability is when nebula exposes its
internals by way of exposing individual SWT controls and not 'nebula
controls'.
An example would be the date/time controls. Users would ideally want to
interact with some form of a DateTimeComposite as a single widget that
performs all operations pertaining to date and time and not as a set of
individual widgets that they need to orchestrate.
Can the nebula team help in this regard ? Can I help in any way in this?
