Contributions
Generally speaking any contribution is welcome. An easy way to contribute is to port one of the SWT-Snippets http://www.eclipse.org/swt/snippets/ to the at.bestsolution.efxclipse.runtime.examples.swt-bundle. The code currently holds a lot of calls to Util.logNotImplemented() track them down and implement them so that they do the same as they do in the other SWT ports
