Reinier, you're out of date again. The EPP packages all provide Cocoa-64 downloads now, not just "classic". I don't think these are difficult to find, but nevertheless, usability issues with the website should be reported on Eclipse's bugzilla under the Community/Website component. However, I gue

Controversial issue. Personally I've always had issues with Swing's over-engineered and emulating style and felt an application should look like the native desktop, nothing more and nothing less. Swing is constantly playing catch up and as soon as you pull in a couple of 3'rd part controls, you en

Yes, Swing was part of the write-once run anywhere ideology, which works fine for the rest of Java, but is somewhat in denial when it comes to the GUI. When people didn't want non-native looking windows they had to back fill it with emulation.. which in my opinion is totally freakin' stupid. You
