Re: [platform-swt-dev] eclipse snippets webpage

I agree entirely to Erik, I think the site navigation should be improved.
When I send the eclipse.org link to other people new to SWT, they complain
they don't find the stuff, so I must keep sending the complete URLs of each
page...

Best regards,
Cesar Mello
