I've just created a springframework-rcp-dev list. We can add a -user =
list if we ever need it.

I've emailed you the administration information, as you should clearly =
be the list administrator.

Regards,
Rod

  Rod,

  I think a spring-rcp mailing list is a great idea!  I'll continue =
posting announcements and other core integration stuff on the main =
lists, but general communication back and forth comm. about specifics of =
the project would fit nicely in its own list (especially now since most =
topics are very development oriented.)

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

      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
