I'm trying to use drag-n-drop with an embedded SWT Browser, so that my application can drag hyperlinks from the Browser to another Control. I've been able to set up the destination to receive data from an external browser, but the internal does not seem to participate in the drag-n-drop. Any ideas? I would guess that I need something ...

Hi folks I wonder someone has any idea how to solve this: In my Java Eclipse plugin there are some processes which take some time. Therefore the user might minimize the window and let the process run in the background. Now, when the process is finished, I can force the window to come to the top again, but that is a no-no in usability. I'...

I have an application that prints the contents of a URL (to a physical printer) at a certain point. I want this to happen automatically and without further user input. I am using SWT to load the URL into an SWT browser (that works int he background only - it is not visible) and print. The sole problem at this point is that the server wan...
This Eclipse bug mentions something called CTabFolderPageManager, which seems like it could be useful for me. However, searching for CTabFolderPageManager doesn't give any results. Is it a future feature for SWT (given that the bug report is from 2007, this would be surprising)? Or did I just fail at searching for it? ...

How do I ensure when I distribute a JAR-file that the proper SWT-library (either the windows, the linux or mac version) is loaded an ready to use? It would be very helpful because then you can do one export and your application can run on any platform like Swing apps usually do. Thanks a lot ...
