JFace Data Binding is a multi-threaded set of abstractions that allow for automated validation and synchronization of values between objects. This is commonly used for, but not limited to, the binding of user interface components to model attributes. The core concepts behind the project are Observables and Bindings. We provide IObservable implementations for SWT, JFace, and JavaBeans but the core is void of references to these in anticipation of implementations for other projects (e.g. EMF, Swing, etc.).

Historical Documents
- JFace Data Binding Webinar (The code in this presentation is slightly out of date - converters and validators are set up differently in the final 1.0 API.)
- Dave Orme's EclipseCon 2006 Lightning Talk slides (This presentation is outdated. The concepts are still relevant though.)

Project Release Status
JFace Data Binding 1.0 was releaseed with Eclipse 3.3, Europa. The Eclipse 3.3.1 release (Europa Fall Maintenance Release) contains a number of bug fixes. We are currently working on bug fixes and enhancements for the upcoming 3.4 release of Eclipse in June 2008.
