Example code for embedding SVG canvas in SWT project?

Is there a good example of how to include an SVG canvas into a Java SWT project (particularly Holongate, though I would be interested in any other options)?

Java/SWT: How to receive mouse events from an embedded window

How Do You change A ScrolledComposite's Horizontal Scroll Increment?

I have an application that displays a ScrolledComposite.
