Introduction

Eclipse Forms is a plug-in that exposes a set of customs widgets and other supporting classes that were before used as internal to PDE and Update components. They provide for creating polished, 'Web-like' UIs by modestly extending SWT and/or manipulating style bits, colors, fonts and other properties in order to get the desired behavior. This technology was used throughout PDE multi-page editors and will now be available as public API in Eclipse 3.0.

Setup:
1) Download and install Eclipse 3.0 from Eclipse.org

2) In order to be able to use Eclipse Forms, all you need to do is add
'org.eclipse.ui.forms' plug-in to your list of required plug-ins. This plug-ins is RCP-friendly in that it does not have dependency on IDE plug-ins (its only dependency is org.eclipse.ui).

3) Eclipse Forms has the following public (API) packages:
org.eclipse.ui.forms - the main package
org.eclipse.ui.forms.editor - classes that employ Eclipse Forms on top of the MultiPageEditorPart to create multi-page editors as seen in PDE
org.eclipse.ui.forms.events - new events created to support custom widgets
org.eclipse.ui.forms.widgets - a set of custom widgets and layouts created specifically for Eclipse Forms
