Description Kevin McGuire CLA 2009-06-11 11:48:26 EDT 
A common visual attribute to want to set from CSS is borders.  AFAIK, current SWT support is limited to SWT.BORDER as a style bit on create. 

Although Control supports
  int getBorderWidth()

there's no
  void setBorderWidth(int)
  Color getBorderColor()
  void setBorderColor(Color)

Meanwhile, CSS3 defines some very sophisticated borders (http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-css3-border-20021107/).  I'm not suggesting we support all of CSS3 borders, (although that'd be cool), but it's to say that's indicative of current developer expectations.  We should at least consider CSS2 border capabilities like:

Essential:
  border-width
  border-color

Bonus:
  border-style: dotted solid double dashed
