Hi...

I'm using:

- j2sdk1.4.2_06
- eclipse-SDK-3.2M4-win32
- EMF 2.2.0
- GEF 3.2.0
- Visual Editor 1.2.0

I'm newbie using VE and I've just started to use it.
However I couldn't even drop a SWT container shell in the visual editor.
Nothing happens. Just a litle black square appears to me.

That is the java source generated:

+++++++++++++++++++++++

import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell;
import org.eclipse.swt.layout.GridLayout;
import org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Point;

public class TesteSWT3 {

private Shell sShell = null;

/**
* This method initializes sShell
*
*/
private void createSShell() {
sShell = new Shell();
sShell.setLayout(new GridLayout());
sShell.setSize(new Point(405, 180));
}

/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {

}

}
+++++++++++++++++++++++

I know that some simple thing must to be done, but I don't know what....
If someone could help...

Thanks in advance........

Felipe.

How did you create your class? Did you use the Visual Class wizard to do
it. Or did you create it by hand?

It looks like you didn't use the wizard. The wizard would of set up your
classpath correctly. If you simply just added SWT.jar to the classpath
it won't work. You need to remove that and instead go to
project->Properties->Java BuildPath->Libraries tab. Select that Add
Library button and add in the SWT Library from there. This will add it
correctly for your project.

You have right. I had created my project by hand adding swt.jar to the
classpath. When I created by visual class wizard, it worked correctly.

thanks Rich!
