| <b>New API added</b></td> |
| <td width="80%"> |
| For this milestone, we concentrated on implementing SWT API that was |
| still missing in RAP. |
| This will make it easier for the community to reuse existing code or |
| to utilize new features. |
| Here is a list of API methods added in this milestone: |
| <br /> |
| <ul> |
| <li><code>TypedEvent#display</code></li> |
| <li>User data on <code>Display</code> (<code>setData( Object )</code>, |
| <code>setData( String, Object )</code>, etc.)</li> |
| <li><code>Display#timerExec()</code></li> |
| <li><code>Monitor</code> and its accessors like |
| <code>getPrimaryMonitor()</code> on <code>Display</code> and |
| <code>getMonitor()</code> on <code>Control</code></li> |
| <li><code>Device#getClientArea()</code></li> |
| <li><code>RowLayout#center</code></li> |
| <li><code>Widget#notifyListeners()</code></li> |
| <li><code>CTabFolder#getItem( Point )</code></li> |
| <li><code>DateTime#setDate( int, int, int )</code></li> |
| <li>sashWidth and <code>setMaximizedControl()</code> on |
| <code>SashForm</code></li> |
| <li><code>Shell#forceActive()</code></li> |
| <li>Selection listener on <code>Spinner</code></li> |
| <li><code>TabItem#setToolTipText( String )</code></li> |
| <li><code>Text#setLineHeight()</code></li> |
| <li><code>setDisabledImage()</code> and <code>setHotImage()</code> |
| on <code>ToolItem</code></li> |

| <b>FormText</b></td> |
| <td width="80%"> |
| The <code>org.eclipse.ui.forms.widgets.FormText</code> has been |
| implemented in RAP. FormText is a read-only text control that is |
| capable of rendering wrapped text. Text can be rendered as-is or |
| by parsing the formatting XML tags like <code><p></code>, |
| <code><li></code>, <code><a></code>, <code><img></code>, |
| <code><control></code> and <code><span></code>. |
| You can use the <code>FormToolkit</code> to create an instance: |
| <br/> |
| <pre> |
| FormText formText = toolkit.createFormText( form.getBody(), true ); |
| </pre> |
| <p><img src="images/RAPFormText.png" ></p> |

| <td width="20%"> |
| <b>Intro support</b></td> |
| <td width="80%"> |
| The <code>org.eclipse.ui.intro</code> extension point |
| provides a generic mechanism that can be used to create your own |
| intro support for your application. The main purpose of this extension |
| is to define the class that implements <code>IIntroPart</code> and to |
| specify the binding between a <b>branding</b> and an intro part. |
| As RAP does not support products as known from RCP you can use the |
| <code>org.eclipse.rap.ui.branding</code> extension point to bind your |
| intro to a specific branding. |
| For example, the following contribution defines a hypothetical intro |
| part to be shown by the workbench on startup: |
| <pre><code> |
| <extension |
| point="org.eclipse.ui.intro"> |
| <intro |
| class="com.example.SampleIntroPart" |
| id="someId" |
| icon="someIcon.png"> |
| </intro> |
| <introBrandingBinding |
| introId="someId" |
| brandingId="com.example.someBrandingId"> |
| </introBrandingBinding> |
| </extension> |
| </pre></code> |
| |
| When starting the application for the first time the intro will appear |
| in fullscreen covering the rest of the workbench window: |
| <p><img src="images/intro_full.png"/></p> |
| |
| In standby mode the workbench shows the regular perspective with the |
| intro on the right side: |
| <p><img src="images/intro_standby.png"/></p> |
| |
| For more informations about how to use the intro extension, see |

| <td width="20%"> |
| <b>Databinding</b></td> |
| <td width="80%"> |
| During the M6 milestone, the databinding core plug-ins were restructured. |
| Like its RCP counterpart, the RAP workbench has a dependency |
| to core databinding and thus is affected from these changes. |
| <p>Effectively, two more bundles, <code>org.eclipse.databinding.observable</code> |
| and <code>org.eclipse.databinding.property</code> are now required to |
| run the workbench. Please update your build scripts and launch |
| configurations accordingly.</p> |
