Ive downloaded the SWT package from the eclipse website. Unfortunatley there
are NO installation instructions, and when i try to use Help>Software
Updates, it tells me there is nothing in the folder that can be installed.
Some how (Import I think) I did manage to get the components to show up in
the Naviagtor under Junit.junit.org.eclipse.swt, however I dont think they
are truley installed as I cannot see them in the VE palette. Someone
please!!!

You don't need to separately install SWT to develop SWT classes in the
VE. The most straightforward to way to use SWT in VE is to create a new
Java project, then create a new Visual Class extending one of the SWT
classes (Shell, Composite, etc). By doing this, your project will be
configured to have the SWT library accessible, and the SWT items will
show up in the VE palette.
Hope this helps,

Go to New->Visual Class. In the Style tree on the left, expand SWT and
select Shell. Name the class and press Finish. The VE will open with a
class containing the SWT shell. If you want the class to be runnable,
check the create main stub check box in the new Visual Class wizard.
