Hello,

I have a problem creating a SWT application using Eclipse 3.1.
Under Eclipse 3.0 one could add the SWT Library to the project using:

Project->Properties->Java build path->Tab Libraries->Add =
Library->Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT)

Under 3.1 the SWT Library one cannot choose anymore!?!

My simple SWT example looks like this:

import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.*;

public class TEST
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Shell shell =3D new Shell();
shell.setText("TEST");
}
}

After 'Run As' 'Java application' and/or on 'Run As' 'SWT Application' I =
get following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation =
problems:=20
Shell cannot be resolved to a type

If I move the cursor to the yellow light bulp with the white X on a red =
square (in line import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;)
Eclipse tells me:

'The import org.eclipse cannot be resolved'

Whats wrong?

Any help is appreciated!

Using 3.1 it's under the buildpath properties (right click on resource)
buildpath->configure build path...->Libraries Tab->Add Library...->SWT
now you just have to choose the location you want the swt to be located
at and voila everything should work.

Hello Stafan,

thanks for your reply, but I cannot really follow what you wrote, I am a
newbee in 3.1!

So where I can find:

buildpath properties (right click on resource) <-- Which resource I should
click?

If I use menu Project->Properties->Java Build Path->Tab Libraries->Add
library, I get only following entries to choose:

JRE System Library
Plug-in Dependencies
User Library

No SWT!?! (As I wrote in my previous message)

So, please can you show me more detailed where I can find what you wrote?

Thanks again!

Any resource in the project or the project folder itself in the package
explorer view.

I just realized that It might be that the entry I am referring to is
added by the visual editor plugin. Don't have a clean installation of
eclipse around to check this.
In that case you would have to add a jar and find the plugins:
org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86_3.1.0.jar (This is for Windows! The last
three entries are the os (win32) the windowsmanager(win32) and the
arch(x86). Just choose the jar that is appropriate for your os)
and org.eclipse.swt_3.1.0.jar to your project in order to have the swt
packages.

If you are doing a plugin project you can also use add plugin
dependencies to add the above two jars to your project.

Hope that helps and sorry for the confusion

if i remember correctly one has to download the swt separately (at least i
had to do that) and put into a place the project can integrate it (either
inside the project or as an external jar). be aware that the swt-jar is
platform dependent, so you have to chose the right arcive for your
development-platform (and maybe deployment-platform too).

The plugins are located in the plugins location of your eclipse
installation. This folder should also contain the correct version for
your platform.
It might be easier to download the visualeditor plugin since it brings
everything along to start a swt project.

Stefan

Hello Stefan,

I added now the two JARs as you mentioned, the compiler errors dissappear
now but I got another problem.
If I run the project I get the error message:

Could not find the main class. Program will exit.

Under the 'Run configuration' of the project the 'Main class' TEST is
availalable!?!
Do I have to add VM arguments also? Its empty!
Under Eclipse 3.0 I had
'-Djava.library.path=C:\wampp2\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.s wt.win32_3.0.2\os\win32\x86'

But under 3.1 the native libraries (the SWTxxx.dll) should be within the
JARs I added already, or am I wrong?

Thanks for further support!

Hello,

in my previous post I posted a wrong error message:

> Could not find the main class. Program will exit. <-- WRONG!!!

but after running it appears following error message:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no =
swt-win32-3138 in java.library.path <-- Correct one!!!
So, what I have to add under the VM arguments of the 'run =
configuration'?

The directory =
....\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.swt.win32_3.X.X\os\win32\x8 6 no more =
exists under eclipse 3.1, because everything is inside the two JARs. So =
what I should enter instead?

Thanks for further support!

To get an SWT app to run in 3.1 you can follow the help path from SWT
Example Launcher, but there is a quick way to get started.

1. create you java project.
2. Configure the build path, go to Libraries, and add a variable
3. Click on ECLIPSE_HOME and hit the extend button
4. go into plugins until you find the 2 SWT jars you need
5. now you can create you class in your project, for example:
package com.test;

import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell;

public class SwtExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Display display = new Display();
Shell shell = new Shell(display);
shell.setText("TEST");
shell.open();
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (display.readAndDispatch()) {
display.sleep();
}
}
display.dispose();
}
}

6. Create an SWT Application launcher for the class, and Run

It worked fine in 3.1

There is a tutorial on the SWT page about how to set up Eclipse for
developing SWT applications. See:

The .jar files in the Eclipse directory are Eclipse plugins. Eclipse
extracts the .DLLs at runtime and puts them on its library path.
However, for an SWT application, you'll need to either extract the .DLLs
yourself (ouch!) or use the SWT standalone download from the SWT
homepage (nice!). You can also use "Run As > SWT Application". This
will extract the .DLLs for you and automatically add them to the library
path of the run configuration.

Sorry for the confusion,
-Billy

You need to install the VE project to get the SWT library. It is made
available through VE. You can get VE through the update manager (VE is
the Visual Editor), make sure you select "Add Required...". The update
manager will get you version 1.1.0, but there is a 1.1.0.1 that fixes
many bugs in 1.1.0. You can get that by doing a scan for updates after
installing 1.1.0
