V1.19.0

Primary focus of this release is a cleanup of the internal structure to reduce the maintenance burden caused by the SWT facades. In addition, this release also features an experimental GEF-based palette to hopefully replace the current implementation with the next release. This palette is disabled by default, but can be enabled using the wbp.gef.palette system property.
