After my last blog post about Eclipse RCP development, which included me commenting that MyEclipse offers Matisse for Pro subscribers, I got an email from Jens Eckels, marketing director of Genuitec, the company behind MyEclipse, offering to upgrade my license if I was willing to try Matisse4MyEclipse and blog about my experiences, good or bad.

I wasn't sure whether to accept the offer at first, because I was pretty much set on using SWT and JFace, but it didn't take me long to decide that it would be pretty silly to look a gift Matisse in the mouth, so to speak. What I really want is an easy way to whip up GUIs in Java, and Matisse is supposed to be the best way to do that. So in the next day or two, once I've had a chance to install it, I'll be giving Matisse a try and writing about what I think of it.

Thanks Jens!
