[jsword-devel] Greetings and a couple of questions

[Joe Walker]

Hi,

I'm not sure what OS you are using. On windows the installer creates a 
start menu item, it should do similar on MacOS and Linux too.

I use Eclipse all the time for development, the project source contains 
.project, .source and laucher files to help development using eclipse, 
however it should work with any IDE. I've also used together and 
jbuilder in the past.

We do however use Swing and not SWT. I've considered SWT a number of 
times but I don't think it is the right tool just now for 2 reasons. 
Firstly the API is supposed to be difficult compared to Swing (which is 
already better understood my many developers) and secondly the eclipse 
sub-project to generalize eclipse to be a generic application framework 
has only just got going (I believe eclipse3.0M5 contains the first bits 
of work)

However I do like SWT's concept of using native widgets so anyone 
wanting to write a SWT frontend would be most welcome.

Joe.
