Hi,

I can see that I can do SWT.getVersion() to get the version of SWT. The
problem is the numbers returned don't seem to coorespond with the
version of Eclipse. I need to know if the version is 3.0.x or if it is
version 3.1 or later because I need to be able to target both versions.

In my case if it is 3.1 or later I can use Composite.layout(Control[]
controls), but I need to do the old way for 3.0.x versions.

If it is 3.1.x, the value of SWT.getVersion() will be between 3100 and 3199.

Alternately you can the Eclipse mechanism for accessing the version of a
plugin (i.e. not SWT.getVersion()) since SWT sets the plugin and fragment
version numbers in our Manifest file.

Thanks for the info. I'll need to rely on the SWT.getVersion() because
this can also run standalone without Eclipse being up and running.
