Mac OSX SWT/AWT interoperating [message #444643]

Hello,

I've looked through the bug reports on the eclipse website about SWT and
AWT operating together. As far as I can determine it is not possible
yet. I just want to know if anyone knows any work arounds for the
current versions of eclipse. We're mostly developing for eclipse 3.1,
but work arounds for eclipse 3.0 are acceptable to me as well.

What I've done:
eclipse -vmargs -Djava.awt.headless=true

Created a product called UDIG.

As a test I include the following in the UDIGApplication class
(implements IPlatformRunnable)

if( System.getProperty("java.awt.headless").equals("true") )
Color c=Color.BLUE;

This causes the following exception to be raised
Apple AWT Java AWT Java VM was loaded on first thread -- can't start AWT.

I don't understand this. I've read that running headless makes AWT not
start up. I guess this is a fallacy.

If anyone knows anything new please let me know. This is a real problem
for UDIG. It is supposed to be platform independent, but it only works
on Linux and Windows right now.

Thank you all,

Jesse

It's a bug in the platform and I'll post a radar bug.
