I can't get Nattable working [message #1698552]

Hello everybody!
Here is the thing: I've been using SWT for a while and it's cool, just SWT, not Jface, wich I can't get working as well. My problem is I'm behind a sever that not allows my Eclipse Luna 4.4.0 to directly connect with Eclipse.org downloads, then I used the alternative choice to download the projects and plugins. I downloaded the last SWT, the NatTable 1.3.0 zip repository, the Eclipse Orbit and then I put all of them together with zero complications. Eclipse recognized all these plugins and dependencies. Great! I thoutgh... Eclipse WindowsBuilder works fine... but no NatTable widget showed up. Then I tried to put it to work by typing it directly into the source code:

NatTable nattable = new NatTable(composite);

Eclipse told me that NatTable was not recognized... Oh my! Then I went back into Eclipse.org and I tried unsuccesfully to locate the properly plugins and dependencies. So, what to do? How can I put NatTable to work if I my Eclipse can't go into Eclipse.org by itself?

I will appreciate all the help you guys can give.

Thanks in advance!

Sounds like you are missing some dependencies for NatTable. Have a look at the following tutorial:

http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/NatTable/article.html

NatTable is dependent to JFace and Apache logging. So I suppose these are missing and therefore NatTable doesn't start in an OSGi runtime.

Thank you for your response, I'll check this out once again, but I'm planning to download everything and start all over.
Thanks

Hi there, one more time, Dirk!!!
In a moment of illumination this crossed my mind... does the jfacexxxxxxxxxx.jar that comes into the Eclipse and all other jars and dependencies also into Eclipse plugins folder would do the job?
Have no Eclipse here, I can't test... have to wait until I get home.

Of course it should do the job. Aswell as the SWT and Eclipse core jars that are needed to get JFace running.

In the linked tutorial I should have listed all relevant dependencies.
