Buildin personal SWT [message #447275]

Hi, I'm trying to build a jar file following the instruction in
build_custom.xml. As target I set swtdownload.wince.1 as I would like to use
them on a PPC 2003. Almost everything is OK, but I can't add custom widgets
to my library (because build_custom forces to set off custom widgets). If I
force to compile all files (deleting some excludes) I get a compiling error
and ANT stops.
Does someone know if there's a reason for that? I mean for not letting
people use custom widgets (or debug info) on PPC.
Thanks
Fabio

StyledText is not supported on the Pocket PC - it has dependencies on
Windows API specific to desktop versions. And in general, custom widgets are
not tested on that platform. It's usually preferable to prefer native
widgets on the Pocket PC, for size, performance and look and feel reasons.
If you have a particular case where you think you absolutly need a custom
widget, please open a PR to let us know.

You can add debug info if you wish on the Pocket PC. The default is to
remove it to reduce the jar size by about 30%. This means you don't get line
information in a stack trace - but you still get a stack trace. Let us know
if you need more details to toggle the 'debug' info from the
build_custom.xml.

Well, I think at least ScrolledComposite... How can I open a PR?
I know size and performance are essential in PocketPC, but new handhelds
have a big storage capacity and I think that having a swt.jar of 600KB or
1100KB won't make any difference...

And yes, debug info could be interesting...

thanks a lot
