Did you know about the Nebula project at Eclipse? If not, you should… Nebula is a source for custom SWT widgets and other UI components:

Nebula also acts as an incubator for the SWT project at Eclipse. Here’s the list of widgets in Nebula so far:

• CalendarCombo
• CDateTime
• CollapsibleButtons
• CompositeTable
• DateChooser
• FormattedText
• Gallery
• GanttChart
• Grid
• PGroup
• PShelf

But wait, there’s more! Tom Schindl, the new Nebula project co-lead, sent out an email detailing some new Nebula contributions on the horizon:

• Office Ribbon from Emil Crumhorn (Provides a Microsoft Office like Ribbon)
• Rich-Texteditor from Pavel Petrochenko (Provides HTML-Editing-Facilities)
• RadioGroup/RadioItem from Matthew Hall (Provides a List-like Group-Widget)
• XViewer from OSEE (Provides a fancy framework around SWT-Table/Tree)

If you have any widgets you have developed personally and would like to see them used elsewhere, why not consider donating them to the Nebula project?
