175840 - [DataBinding] Remove BindingListener/BindingEvent from the API
The title doesn't quite do this justice. The change that will effect most consumers is that we removed
BindSpec and the configuration of bindings has changes because of this. We have introduced 2 new classes to replace BindSpec: UpdateValueStrategy and UpdateListStrategy.177463 - [DataBinding] SWT Observable API additions
The essence of this change is that all
SWTObservables.observe*(...) methods are now untyped meaning they all accept a type of Control. This was done in anticipation of supporting multiple SWT versions. If we were to put the latest and greatest widgets in the method signatures it would prohibit us from using this class with Eclipse 3.2.

Btw, the second change is source compatible at least for that change, clients should not have to do anything.
After downloading the new M6 I tried to bind a DateTime Widget, but there is no SWTObservables.observeDateTime? Is it in any way possible to bind a DateTime?
Not at this point in time. For status/updates on DateTime see bug 169876.
I see that observable trees have been pushed out of the API for now. Where can I go to see status/updates on this?
I'd say add yourself to the CC on bug 175418 if you're not already. I'll try to remember to post something to this blog when this is made public again.
Good news! According to bug bug 184755 the internal tree content provider has been fixed by Stephen Xenos and Boris. Anyone have any thoughts on when this will become part of the API?
Ben, feel free to ask on the bug. I don't have any information on that.
Cheers, I've added a comment to the bug.
