RE: [platform-ui-dev] M5 JFace dependencies
 | 
Unfortunate, but livable.  What's one more jar?  
:-)
  
Ron, 
JFace 
  was dependent on org.eclipse.runtime in 2.0.  We tried removing that 
  dependency in 2.1 by moving any JFace classes that made reference to o.e.r up 
  into the workbench plug-ins as extensions (i.e. keeping the same package names 
  as before).  But the net effect of this was to move many of the useful 
  bits of JFace out of the JFace plugin, defeating the purpose.   
  
We have backed out of this attempt. 
  
If you want to use JFace standalone, you 
  will need to copy the relevant classes from o.e.r.

I asked this on the newsgroup, but it occurred to me 
  that this might be a
better place to ask (assuming this is the right 
  mailing list for JFace).
Using JFace from M5 now requires the boot.jar 
  from o.e.core.boot.  I thought
JFace was broken out into its own jar 
  so there wouldn't be any unnecessary
dependencies on other parts of 
  Eclipse.  Was this dependency unintentional
or by design?  What 
  are the plans (if any) for removing these 
  dependencies?
Ron
