Frameworks Missing Packages [message #1002579]

I have only recently downloaded Eclipse and I do not have much experience with Java in general. When creating WindowBuilder files to try out the different GUI Toolkits, I have encountered errors with import statements. The code:
SWT JFace:

import org.eclipse.jface.action.MenuManager;
import org.eclipse.jface.action.StatusLineManager;
import org.eclipse.jface.action.ToolBarManager;
import org.eclipse.jface.window.ApplicationWindow;

SWT:

import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;

XWT:

import org.eclipse.e4.xwt.XWT;

Swing does not give any errors. Why do the other frameworks not work?

Sounds like you haven't set up an SWT/JFace/RCP/XWT project with the proper classpath entries.

A simple Java project will not have the necessary classpath entries, so you would need to add them.

Thank you for responding. I believe that I have fixed the issue with SWT, but with XWT , I get an IsSafeRunnable error. JFace does not have any of the eclipse.jface packages installed.

I would suggest asking XWT-related questions in the Eclipse 4 forum.

XWT is it's own project now and has its own newsgroup.

Do you have a link? I coud not find a dedicated XWT forum.

All the relevant XWT traffic I could find was in the Eclipse 4 forum.

Well I'm not using the forums ;-) but in my thunderbird I see it as
eclipse.xwt and to my knowledge there was a project proposal for XWT
which According to
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=373668#c24 which was
successful.

I don't know why it does not show up on the forum page. It is true that
some people who know XWT hang out at the e4 forum (I'm not one of them;-)
