Hi,
I see that SWT is hooked to Win32 API.
But it is discontinued for future releases of of MS Windows that are based
on WinFX/XAML/XOML.
How this issue can be addressed by SWT?
How can SWT application be run on Vista?
Correct me,

I don't know anything about Vista, but SWT is not "hooked" on win32.
There is an implementation of SWT for win32, a separate one for
Linux/GTK, and another one for MacOS. So when Vista is available someone
will have to step up to write an implementation of SWT for Vista. Then
all you do is install that implementation instead of the win32.

You can watch the progress of SWT support on Windows Vista from this bug
report: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=78839
It's doubtful that Vista would not include the win32 APIs used by SWT -
if this were the case all existing Windows apps wouldn't work. Getting
SWT to make use of the UI enhancements provided by the new Vista APIs is
a whole different concern that will presumably be addressed as Vista
becomes commonplace.
Hope this helps,

Yeaah, I came to this thought after posting.

Certainly, since people report that even VS .NET 2005 has problems in Vista,
so far.
But this (re)turns me to question of AWT/Swing vs. SWT/JFace
My concern is that I should reimplement an existing in Swing/AWT
application. And I cannot get the rationale of rigid stipulation to me in
abandoning any idea of reutilization of it.
I just want to understand the rationale
What is wrong in idea to migrate the Swing/AWT code into Eclipse plugin
through bridges SWT in AWT (or AWT in SWT)?

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=78839 I don't know if a non-win32 Windows port is already in the works, but as Rich pointed out, it wouldn't be a problem.]]>Daniel Spiewak2006-01-26T19:06:55-00:00i.e. not natively?

Yeah, but will it be like running COM from .NET (or win16 in win32) through
wrappers/adapters
Just curious where is the gain for me to abandon existing Swing/AWT code for
SWT/JFace
