How does SWT work out how to scale Images in a Table ?
I am using an ITableLabelProvider to provide images for an SWT Table.
I have recently widened the table columns from 140 to 170 and I have widened the Image object passed from ITableLabelProvider.
SWT now scales this 170-pixel image down to 140 pixels and displays 30 pixels of emp...
I would like to display a svg file inside a eclipse view.
a) It would be nice if the plugin can do basic animations too (coloring the area on mouse over).
I look for a more practical information: what plugin or library has somebody successfully used?
b) or a variant to use svg together with swt.
Btw. have already googled for "eclips...
Edited: SOLUTION FOUND. This is strange and not the best solution, but I just went ahead and put MY JAVA CODE (com.*) the classes in the swt.jar so that swt.jar and my classes are loaded at the exact same moment and by the same classloader. Not the best solution but a temporary fix
Edited: I added most of the code here:

I'm using SWT in Java and I'm trying to left align an image and text that I have inside an SWT Button. It seems like it should be a simple button.setAlignment(SWT.LEFT) call, but that isn't working. A quick Google search leads me to believe this may be a bug in the SWT framework. Does anyone have any help on this?

Hey Folks,
I read all lot about rich client platforms and the OSGi framework, but stuck with this question: Is it possible to assimilate existing applications (either java-based or win32-based) in one application window?
I aim at connecting different kinds of (existing) application in one application (with Eclipse RCP) to offer the gen...
Does anyone know of a way to stop an SWT Browser widget from printing its contents?
In my app, this widget will display confidential files. I cannot block everything, but want to make it as difficult as possible to get information out.
I easily hide the context menu when a user right-clicks, so Print cannot be gotten to in that fashio...

Hopefully no one has asked this question - didn't see it, but I apologize if it's a duplicate.
Anyway, I'm building some plug-ins with Eclipse RCP and am using SWT for my UI. I have a Composite that contains some panels and other items - anyway, I've noticed a bit of a difference in the appearance of the UI depending on how my OS is se...
Hello.
I am looking for a way to get the position coordinates for an offset of a Draw2D TextFlow. For example SWT's StyledText supports that directly (getLocationAtOffset), but none of the Draw2D text figures supports this. Any ideas how I could calculate the position with the given methods of TextFlow?

I've been creating a custom TabFolder extension that adds a key listener to allow quick tab switching using an ALT + # hotkey.
By adding the KeyAdapter to my TabFolder, the event handler works properly only when you have a tab header selected (in which case the ALT + ARROW_LEFT/ARROW_RIGHT also work.). I need this hot key to be active w...
Hello, I have been wondering about the parameter 'properties' in the method TreeViewer#update(Object element, String[] properties). What are they? What do they refer to? I am not sure what goes into the String[] - are there predefined constants to use? Or are these the names of my column headers? Something else?
I couldn't find any e...

In Java SWT, is there a way to draw text on a transparent shell so that only the text appears visible? What I would like to do is have the text appear on my desktop without any background window. Using shell.setAlpha() will make the entire shell transparent, including any elements that appear on it (which I am trying to avoid).

I've been writing Java web (JSF, Struts, JSR168) apps for a number of years. With the recent departure of a colleague, it looks like I'm going to be building more client applications. I've used Eclipse since the beginning and I'm really comfortable with it. It feels as though SWT is waning (just an opinion based on literature I can fi...

I am writing an application in Java using SWT. On our Solaris machines, we have multiple monitor setups, but they are treated in isolation by the operating system.
