My personal opinion is that the property pages (or preference pages) used in uDig 1.1 for the styling dialog are the better choice. My reasoning is: 1. Since they are in a dialog they have lots of space, which is needed to style using classifications. Or see ColorBrewer for example. This wouldn't fit well into a view, except maybe if using a FastView. 2. They allow any other widgets, like canvas (graphical displays) etc. F.e. when styling grid coverages like satellite images they could show the brightness curve/stretch (What's the correct English name for this, btw.?) I'm not sure the Tabbed properties view is that flexible. 3. When using preference pages there is no dependency on Eclipse, just on JFace. This is nice for GeoWidgets. 4. As far as I can judge it now the new Tabbed properties view has a look and feel that does not quite fit to the rest of Udig. Just my opinions on this.
