Description Thomas Schindl CLA 2010-08-20 07:49:04 EDT 
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

Comment 3 Thomas Schindl CLA 2010-08-21 05:05:46 EDT 
I've been experimenting a bit and splitting of viewers is not really easy because many other parts of other packages dependend on viewers
Comment 4 Thomas Schindl CLA 2010-08-21 08:14:56 EDT 
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.
