Hi,
Thanks in advance for any help that could be provided.
I am new to the Eclipse plugin world. I have a very short amount of time
to complete my project and do not have time to learn the SWT library. I am
very familiar with the Swing library and i have found a way to wrap Swing
into the view by doing the following.
public void createPartControl(Composite parent) {
try{
UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel ");
}catch (Exception e){
//TODO: manage exception
}
Composite swtAwtComponent = new Composite(parent, SWT.EMBEDDED);
java.awt.Frame frame = SWT_AWT.new_Frame( swtAwtComponent );
Ftie_ui ui = new Ftie_ui();
frame.add(ui);
}
The Ftie_ui class extends JPanel. Normally, with access to a JPanel, I
figured it would be easy to develop my project with Swing. I added 2
JLabels, 1 JTextField, 1 JPasswordField and 1 JButton. When i ran Eclipse
with my plugin, Everything got loaded in my JPanel, but i could not access
the JTextField and the JPasswordField. I have tryed setEnabled(true) and
setEditable(true) on the fields, but with no success, I could not manage
to put a cursor is the fields. The Ftie_ui class looks like the following
(I know, theres no layout yet).
I am running, windows vista 32bit, java 1.6, Eclipse 3.4.0
I will supply a complete code snippet in case it would help.
For any help someone could bring, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you
Ben

Hi Ben,
I don't know how to solve but I've included the albireo newsgroup which
deals with Swing/SWT.
The problem looks like the Swing event loop is not working appropiately
hence no events are delivered to the Swing components.

Hi Ben,
I make use of SWT_AWT bridge successfully to bring panels from Swing
application into SWT/Eclipse. First thing, if it's possible use Albireo
since SWT_AWT has some bugs and issues and the workarounds could be tricky
depending on your requirements.
Try the following to see if it works:
Hold the composite object > parent in a global variable at your FtieView
class level. Then override the "setFocus" method of "ViewPart" and in this
createPartControl with the global parent object. This is not the best way
but if it works then we could try the workaround.
Thanks,
Rahul
