Status update
November 23rd, 2005
Havn’t posted since the last release. I’ve been busy working on other projects. However, I’m still working on ideas for the next version of zdt. I’m very interested in improving the flashcard features. Two oft requested ones that I’m currently looking into are: Navigation – being able to go back to previously tested words in a flashcard session. The other is keeping track of what words were missed in a session, and keeping track of problem words in a category is another requested feature.
I also implemented a first pass at giving the tables sorting functionality. Unfortunately the version of Eclipse (3.1) that I ship with the zdt doesn’t support the nice sort indicators (at least out of the box). The latest 3.2 M3 release has this capability. I’d like to figure out if there’s a way to update the Eclipse RCP libraries easily using the update site. Otherwise no update capability for the next version of the zdt if I chose to migrate to the latest Eclipse libraries. And do I want to do this just for the little up and down arrows??

Personally, I would prefer that you do not release with the beta versions of Eclipse IF it would affect my development environment. I have to also do development work on the same machines that I use ZDT on.

No worries. The version of the eclipse rcp libraries that are used with the zdt should be completely self contained within the app itself.
