hi,

has somebody a solution for embedding swing or awt components in swt on MAC?
In my application I have to get the plugin working also on MAC.

Thanks for your help.

Theoretically, you could create a Canvas on SWT which could peer all keyboard and mouse events to a custom Swing Component which would peer all paint events back to the canvas. I'm not sure how well this would work, but in theory you could have a swing Component embedded within an SWT Shell without any native code at all. I experimented with this back when Eclipse was in 2.1 but I abandoned the project when SWT_AWT came out for Linux (it was out in beta for Windows as early as 2.0 I believe).

hm, no I think that is too difficult. Is there a implementation which works
planned for MAC? Maybe in the next release?
