XSWT Status Update - What's New

Hi,

  Dave Orme (of Eclipse Visual Editor Project (VEP)
fame) wrote up a status update in a hurry about XSWT.

  Dave writes:

  I've updated the Java reflection implementation of
XSWT to include Chris McLaren's XSWT editor/previewer.

  So you can now interactively code XSWT using a
real-time XSWT preview pane inside of Eclipse. This
editor/preview pane implementation is completely
identical to Chris's with only the minimal changes
required to make it support the new XSWT engine. The
only real change to the plugin is the addition of a
File/New wizard to generate a skeleton XSWT file that
uses GridLayout by default.

  Code is (as usual) in SourceForge CVS in the Sweet
project online @ http://sweet-swt.sf.net

  There's also an update site online @
http://sweet-swt.sourceforge.net/XSWT


  Disclaimers:

1) This was just a two hour hack I did last Friday
because I needed to code some XSWT files I'm using in
some test scripts.  It's not a statement of direction
by ASC or the Visual Editor Project team. :-) 
However, I've found the plugin to be very usable and
useful as it is right now for the purpose to which I
have put it.

2) This code is tested only on 3.0M4, but should work
on 2.1.x as well.  Please let me know if it doesn't.

3) The namespace handling code is still hard-coded; I
just haven't had time (or a need) to fix it yet.
