UX

Doug: I'd like to talk about the UX improvements we made in Momentics that we'd like to push upstream. I think they'd greatly help all users of the Eclipse IDE but especially CDT. The improvements include:

• ToolBar clean up where we removed everything but a new ToolBar that helps managed launch configurations and builds for those configs.
• New Project wizard which is a much nicer experience than our CDT wizard.

Also, something I've been doing mainly on the side with the help of others is Eclipse on JavaFX which offers a great new Java based UI framework. Should have a demo of that by then.
