Currently this bundles holds a lot of different things. In spirit of bug 319713 we should try to split jface into multiple small bundles (more bundle suggestions welcome):

* org.eclipse.jface.core - Generic none SWT dependend stuff
  - base code for bindings
  - ISelection/IStructured selection

* org.eclipse.jface.viewer - holding JFace viewers

* org.eclipse.jface - collection of sub-bundles which are reexported

I've been experimenting a bit and splitting of viewers is not really easy because many other parts of other packages dependend on viewers

I've forked the jface bundle to git@github.com:tomsontom/jface-split.git

Tom, let me know if you need anything from me on this one...non-SWT but still JFace is an excellent idea.

I think after 4 years it is save to say, that no one plans to work on this.
