Is there a way to get the version from SWT [message #453330]

Is there a method or some easy way to get the version information from
SWT at runtime? I.E. 3.0.1 or 3.1? I know Spinner was introduced in 3.1
and I could check for that class but that seem rather crude.

SWT has another version numbering system. Not 3.0, 3.1. You can see the
version in the libraries:

On my WinXP box running Eclipse 3.1M6 I have:
swt-win32-3128.dll

SWT.getVersion() would thus return 3128 as the SWT version.

For more info look at SWT#getVersion() (though I don't know how much
info there is...)

HTH,

To your Spinner problem:

The Spinner API was introduced in SWT Build 3.1 013 (2004-11-23) thus
the following should IMHO work (not tested, though):

if (SWT.getVersion() > 3113) {
// Spinner can be used
}

However, as there were some updates to Spinner for Eclipse 3.1M7 (Bug
86079 and new Spinner API) I would recommend a test like this:

if (SWT.getVersion() > 3128) { ... }

HTH,
Christian
