Re: [nebula-dev] New control submission

[Chris Gross <schtoo@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We're now ready to start reviewing contributions!  I'm going to forward 
the older emails so we can start the discussion and the vote.

First, here's David's submission below.

I'm familiar the CompositeTable.  The other contributions look 
interesting.  My only concern is the dependencies.  Dave, do these 
widgets require JFace?  Do they depend on any databinding or ve 
libraries?  

Regards,
-Chris
