If you're using SWT's layout features, try resizing the shell after you open
it. OSX (and some other platforms other than Windows) seem not to paint
their widgets when first opened unless resized. There's a bug report filed
on this already, don't recall its #.

BTW, how are you getting along with RCP? I'm thinking of looking into it,
not sure yet if it's a good fit to my projects.

Good luck...

Mike

Hi Dave,

Is it just Mac OSX or other platforms as well? We had a similar problem
with our application when running it on OSX - the problem was a simple
one though - we were missing a call to pack() on the shell. After adding
that the Mac OSX window was drawn correctly on startup.

Just an idea - hope that helps.

Cheers,

Marcus
