Hi,

replacing the SWT-Shell in RCP 3.x is nearly impossible so I guess you
are out of luck until e4 will be released which makes such things
possible [1] already in 0.9 (if you have a lot of knowlegde about the
internals) and we'll make it (hopefully total easy in 1.0 [2])

Beside that please take care about the license politics of M$, Ribbon is
royality free but you need to inform M$ about the usage!

This is also the reason Ribbon is not getting part of Nebula until M$
removes this restriction and can't provide support for it :-(
