Here is an update on where things are with the R2.1 presentation:

What has happened:
- initial editor presentation done (by Gunnar)
- view title bars (by Ed)
- view drop down menu, etc. (by Ed)
- fast view bar defaults to left (by Andrew)
- view tab tool tips
- view toolbars

We still have a considerable amount of polish testing and minor features to
implement. These are the open bugs, feel free to investigate just
communicate in the bug reports if you are interested in helping out:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=59948 view tab should not be
displayed if tab group has only one folder
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=59948 view title bar should
use 3rd state when needed
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=59956 moveable perspective
switcher
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=59957 potential refactoring
for editor presentation
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=60953 R21 colours and themes
are currently hardcoded
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=60954 tear offs -- need to
either work (3.0 behaviour) or be disabled (2.1 behaviour)
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=60955 draw minimized views
properly
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=60956 editor's should respond
to tab location preference changes

We need as much community involvement to test this plugin as possible in
order to achieve high degree of confidence in this code before the plug-in
can be released.

How to run this:

0) Get the latest integration build

1) Check Out the "org.eclipse.ui.internal.r21presentation" project from CVS

2) Add the following lines to your
$ECLIPSE/plugins/org.eclipse.platform_3.0.0/plugin_customiza tion.ini file:

# R21 presentation settings
# use the R2.1 style presentation factory
org.eclipse.ui/presentationFactoryId=org.eclipse.ui.internal .r21presentation
Factory
# 1024 = SWT.BOTTOM
org.eclipse.ui.workbench/VIEW_TAB_POSITION=1024
# put the fast view bar on the left
org.eclipse.ui/initialFastViewBarLocation=left

3) Launch a runtime workbench

When comparing this with R2.1 if you find differences/bugs, create a bug and
put [R21PRES] into the subject line.

Here is a snapshot of the current work in progress:
