I am wondering how to make a custom SWT component. I want it to act much
like the package explorer in eclipse. Where I could put a tree, list,
buttons, ect.. in the main area. Then have a top with a lable, menubar,
and toolbar. I would also need to have dragging and dropping, and am able
to resize the component. My main problem is I am not sure how to create a
custom component and what widgets to use. Thank you for the help
Later,

Hello whatsgoingon,
here some suggestions:
You do not need to write your own widget. You can write a wrapper class
that manages all the (existing) widgets you need.
Widgets to use:
Tree -> Tree
List -> List or Table
Buttons -> ToolBar with ToolItems or just Button
Lable -> Label or CLabel
Perhaps you play a bit with SWT Designer. Maybe this helps you to
understand how the Widgets are created and layouted.
Then you can write a wrapper class that does all this.
To let it look like a single SWT Widget, you can create all important
functions (setColor, addListener etc) by using Eclipse's
Source->generate delegate methods feature and delegating these calls to
the widgets that should handle them.
It also could be helpful to have a look into the eclipse source, but
this is of course time consuming if one does not know exactly where to
search.
Hope that helped
