Re: [platform-ui-dev] Tip of the day

[Leo Ufimtsev <Leonidas@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I like Nebula, but I agree with Mickael's points.

I'm also a little concerned about Nebula's stability. Based on my limited experience with Nebula, it is nice, but does not necessarily work smoothly across platforms, and cross-platform widget patches are not always tested on all major platforms. (e.g things like Bug 519340 should ideally been caught by automated jUnit tests).

Hi (last reply ;),

Platform consumes many things that are out of the scope you describe, e.g. all of Orbit. 

Also, that would introduce yet-another cycle in the project dependencies (Nebula depends on Platform, Platform depends on Nebula...). Cycles can be hard to manage.

We depend on SWT. Some widgets use Draw2D and JFace. 

Cheers,

Wim
