I committed some improvements to the Nebula Gallery Widget today:

• Fixed some selection problems if SWT.MULTI was used. Deselecting an item could raise an OutOfBounds exception.
• Added a way to remove a single item : Gallery.remove( int index) for root items and GalleryItem.remove( int index) for children.
• Added a new snippet to demonstrate item removal. This snippet is only available on CVS at the moment.

This new version can be downloaded here.

Using OpenGL with SWT is really easy. I made an experimental fullscreen viewer for Sharemedia w/ LWJGL which shows a rotating picture.

Packaging LWJGL as an RCP plugin was a little more tricky, as several native libraries must be included for each platform. To do this, you have to add an OSGI header to the plugin :

Bundle-NativeCode:
jinput-dx8.dll;osname=win32;processor=x86;OpenAL32.dll;osname=win32;processor=x86

Now I just have to learn how to create reflection and nice motion effects with OpenGL

I made a page showing some usage examples of the Nebula Gallery Widget : Nebula Gallery Widget screenshots.

I’m looking for screenshots of new applications which use the Gallery widget to add them in this page. If you are using it, feel free to contact me.

Nightly build are now available for nebula components. Grid and Gallery are the first one to provide nightly jars.
It’s pretty hard to list all the file provided by nebula. Only some mirrors let you browse the files. This one does : http://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/eclipse/technology/nebula/

2 news components have also joined Nebula : FormattedText and DateChooser.

Voici quelques news pour le début du mois de mars :

* Avec les premiers retours utilisateurs, j’ai pu corriger quelques bugs liés aux évenements souris sur le composant Nebula Gallery. La navigation au clavier a également été ajoutée. J’attends avec impatience les premières applications utilisant ce composants. http://www.eclipse.org/nebula/widgets/gallery/gallery.php
Je rappelle qu’il est déja utilisé dans sharemedia. http://sharemedia.free.fr/

* J’ai développé dans le cadre de mon travail une extension eZ Publish pour Eclipse (http://smile-ez-plugin.sf.net/). Malgré que ce soit une version alpha, les premiers retours utilisateurs sont très positifs : http://ez.no/community/contribs/3rd_party/smile_ez_publish_eclipse_plugin.

Voilà !
