Re: [e4-dev] Eclipse Scripting

Hi Martin,

All I have currently is an old blog entry where I announced the feature
you can see it at
http://tomsondev.bestsolution.at/2011/03/13/e4-more-news-from-modeltooling/

You are right wizard are not part of our model - we already once
discussed it but didn't proceed with them (though it probably would have
made our keybinding/context store easier).

The ideal thing would be if everything is done through the commands
framework because then your don't have to issue SWT-Events on controls
to execute an action.

All operations that modify the workbench are finally ending up in the model ;-)
