We will work with the community to identify and provide access to a best-of-breed declarative mechanism for defining widget-based user-interfaces in Eclipse. We will provide visual design tools to allow such user-interfaces to be crafted without requiring extensive programming knowledge.

+1 for XWT being a major component of 4.0

Just take a look at the e4 forum: the first page contains 40 messages. Of those messages, 18 (as of today 18.04.2010) are related to XWT, that is almost 50% of the overall questions found on the e4 forum.

This plan item was committed for the e4 July 2010 release. This release includes a series of improvements to XWT, along with XWT Visual Designer, a graphical design tool for creating declarative applications with XWT.
