I'm new to SWT/JFace. I would like to know if someone could indicate real world apllications based on SWT/Jface but not on Eclipse RCP. I can see lot of examples (come of them very professional) of RCP based apps, but nothing about SWT/Jface standalone. I would like to start to develop an utility app with these libraries (instead of Swin...

I'm trying to get SWT working with the newest JOGL (2.0). I tried SWT snippet 209, but it doesn't work. The problem is caused by the following line: final GLContext context = GLDrawableFactory.getFactory().createExternalGLContext(); ...but when I change getFactory() to getFactory(GLProfile.getDefault()) (to make it compatible with th...
As a pet project, I've been playing with the concept of integrating Aero Glass effects into my SWT application. Łukasz Milewski has an excellent blog post explaining how this can be accomplished, which pretty much boils down to this: final Display display = new Display(); final Shell shell = new Shell(display); shell.setLayout(new FormL...

EDIT 1 If user opened up the dialog in edit mode, he then did some modification and pressed "OK", then this dialog closed and the underlying bean got updated. When I...

I'm having trouble with the SWT DateTime widget. I use DateTime, CCombo, and Text boxes as cell editors. CCombo and DateTime may be (and actually, almost always are) taller than the table itself and should extend past the bottom of the table to allow the user to choose any of the entries. CCombo is doing this fine. If there's a sin...
I am having performance issues with Batik when I try to render SVG files using SWT. It seems like a very bloated library but the only other one I could find was SVGSalamander and it looks like it's Swing only. Is there a way to render the SVGs without converting them to a bitmap form first that's faster? It needs to be cross platform. ...
Anyone has experiences about interfacing with multimedia [or Fn Function] keys in Java? There seems to be an incomplete discussion regarding multimedia buttons in Java here. There is also a library, JIntelliType, which can be used to register global hotkeys in Windows, but only works for registering globally, not media keys. ...

Does anyone know where I can download the javadoc files for Swt and/or JFace? I do not want the api docs for the rest of Eclipse. I found a place where the docs are available for reading online but I really need them on my local computer. ...
I am in the middle of converting an application that uses swing and awt to draw things to SWT. Since it's sort of overwhelming I'm going through, replacing all references to "awt" to the corresponding swt type. That works for rectangles (only a few methods had to be renamed) but there are some types I don't know how to deal with. If you ...
In the context of displaying databases rows in an SWT VIRTUAL Table I am wondering if created TableItems are ever released by SWT in order for them to be garbage collected ? Using virtual table allows us not to load the full model into memory by asking on the fly data to the database each time SWT needs it (through the SWT.setData liste...

Outside of the actual SWT listener, is there any way to ignore a listener via code? For example, I have a java program that implements SWT Text Widgets, and the widgets have: SWT.Verify listeners to filter out unwanted text input. ModifyListeners to wait for the correct number of valid input characters and automatically set focus (u...
