My work on SWT RSS reader project had a lot of improvement since I posted my intention on starting it, two weeks ago. There's too much work to do yet, but I'm pretty satisfied with the results so far. Here is a screenshot, if you feel curious about it (I love screenshots, do you? ;)).
I would like to thank Carlos and Daniel for their support and encouragement through the cold sleepless nights of coding :). You guys are great. Thank you.
They asked me if I was planing to build a Linux version. The short answer is yes, I am. But, as I have almost no skills in Linux, although I love it, I think it will be a long road 'til the first version in Linux. My hope is that, when I open source the project in SF, I can find a developer that can join the project and help me on this task. I've made some (unsuccessful) tests trying to embed Mozilla instead of IE. In the examples I found, the only change required is as following:
// from
OleControlSite webControlSite = new OleControlSite(webFrame, SWT.CENTER,"Shell.Explorer");
// to
OleControlSite webControlSite = new OleControlSite(webFrame, SWT.CENTER,"Mozilla.Browser");
And speaking of open sourcing, I think it's time to choose a name for my baby. I was thinking in "SweetReader", or "SWTReader", which I adopted in the titlebar of the main shell, as you can see in the screenshot. If you have a suggestion, please leave a comment. No awards, except for a virtual poster of mine totally in ASCII characters! Wow! Isn't that great? Yes! Certainly it is! Ok, just kidding :). I would greatly appreciate if you leave your suggestion.
