+1.

Please note I'm in the middle of a client change and won't be available to help on any large refactoring until Monday 2/26 at the earliest.

CompositeTable fans: any help you can provide in the meantime is greatly appreciated!  I'll try to get through the patches you all have been submitting anyway.


Regards,

Dave Orme

Nebula developers,

We've had some recent conversations about project structure.  I think we 
all agreed that having one project/plugin per widget was appropriate. 
There are a few other changes that we need to make going forward.  I'm 
just going to list them here.  Please let me know how you feel.

- Change our structure from a few main plugins to one plugin per widget
   - some general plugins will not change (examples and snippets most 
likely)
- Change our terminology from purely widgets to components to reflect new 
additions such as JFace viewers and presentations plugins.  This is mostly 
a change to the website but also...
- Change our package names from org.eclipse.swt.nebula to 
org.eclipse.nebula for the same reason.
   - org.eclipse.nebula.widgets
   - org.eclipse.nebula.viewers
   - org.eclipse.nebula.xxxxx (presentations and other higher level 
components)
   - This means we are dropping the use of "swt" and "nebface" in our 
package names.   This is also a breaking change for existing users.
- Increasing the quality of our code and documentation through more 
restrictive project/compiler settings.
- Package our downloads to include snippets, javadoc (in Eclipse help 
plugin?), source (just export our plugins with the source included?), more 
that I'm missing?
- others?

I'm hoping that we can finalize this stuff pretty quick.  I have a couple 
of days devoted to Nebula stuff and would like us to work out this new 
structure and start the actual transition by creating new projects.  Then 
I am going to start redesigning the website and more importantly getting 
an automated build up and running.

Regards,
-Chris
