Hello,
has anyone tried out the new Eclipse Forms API upcoming in Eclipse
3.0?

PS: In case you wonder what's it all about allow me to quote from the
Eclipse Forms Programming Guide online @
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/~checkout~/pde-ui-home/working/EclipseForms/EclipseForms.html
Eclipse Forms is a plug-in that exposes a set of customs widgets and
other supporting classes that were before used as internal to PDE and
Update components. They provide for creating polished, 'Web-like' UIs
by modestly extending SWT and/or manipulating style bits, colors,
fonts and other properties in order to get the desired behavior. This
technology was used throughout PDE multi-page editors and will now be
available as public API in Eclipse 3.0.
