MessageExciting news. Keith, do you think we need a Spring-RCP mailing =
list, or would you prefer it to stay shared for now?

  Subject: [Springframework-developer] spring-rcp subproject structure =
and initial commits


  Hey yall -

  The spring-rcp sub project structure now exists in the CVS repository =
as a new module.  You'll find that the structure very much mirrors that =
of the spring module.  I made some initial commits last night including:

  org.springframework.rcp.image
      A image and icon loading/caching library using resource-bundle =
style lookup.  It abstracts away hardcoded image paths in your code, =
supports at-runtime resizable icons (for accessbility), and provides =
built in broken image indicator support.  The design is very =
MessageSource like and also builds off Spring's core.io.Resource classes =
for accessing image resources.

  org.springframework.rcp.util
    Misc utility classes (mostly static-utility) that aim to reduce =
repeat coding.  Several of these likely make sense for inclusion in the =
core at some point...

  I'll be continuing commiting additional packages this week including:
  - The rules-based data validation stuff with source-level attributes =
(currently I'm working on this with Seth Ladd and Sam Newman.)
  - The action contribution framework (the UI management side of =
actions.)  Sam Newman has also been working with me on a general command =
framework that integrates with the visual side of an action for =
rich-clients.
  - Test suites and samples for all of the above.

  Obviously the code, since we're just getting started, is considered =
experimental and may undergo significant changes. =20
  Keep the feedback coming!  :-) I've gotten a lot of useful ideas and =
suggestions so far!  I will post announcements as new packages are =
committed.  Keith
