SWT_AWT still experimental? [message #436555]

Is the org.eclipse.swt.awt.SWT_AWT class from version 3.0 still classfied
as experimental?

We would like to use newShell() method to embed a SWT shell inside an AWT
frame and since this SWT/AWT-Bridge would be very top-level we are
somewhat concerned about using this class in a commercial application.

The source in the CVS repository still includes some portions that look
like temporary workarounds but maybe this only concerns the newFrame()
method?

Thanks,
Mark

It is no longer experimental, however, the Swing/AWT in SWT part has been
highly tested. The SWT in Swing/AWT needs work. Please try and use it and
log bug reports. Be warned that we are approaching 3.0 and only one side of
the embedding (the one you aren't using) is important for Eclipse so it is
getting all of the attention.
