Enhancements of Eclipse on Windows 7

Improve Eclipse to take advantage of new features in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

Project Detail

This project helps eclipse developers to be productive and have a compelling experience when developing applications using Eclipse on Windows 7. For this first phase, focus has been on the user interface components to allow Eclipse developers to take advantage of the new user interface features offered by Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
These enhancements are made at the Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT) level, which means that developers will see the enhancements in the Eclipse IDE, but they can also take advantage of them in any desktop applications built on top of the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP).
